Feedback on 402's

I'm interested on input from memeber's who are running N/A 402's, pulling about 550 rwtq. Opinions on wheather to go F/I 346 or N/A 402, pretty much soley street use. Engine will be in a FRC 6 sp w/3:90 gears.

I'm having a hard time with this decision. I'm also wondering about the gas milage difference between the two..decisions, decisions,decisions.
p.s. How do you like the maggie?

Forum member Washguy has a 402 in his FRC Vette. You might try PM'ing him for advice.

I'm in the process of building a forged 6L for a novi kit. I considered the 402 but IMO it's not worth it for what i want to do.

I don't think you'll find many 402/408's making 550 rwt. My friends NA 408 makes 550 rwhp / 499rwt, his is about as radical as you can get with a hyd. cam.
