360 Engine Build Guidance (Boost Maybe?)

AJ/FormS said

A 350hp, hi-compression 360 is a real blast. This is an easy/cheap/reliable build. Get's into the 12s real easy, on street tires with street gears. With overdrive she can get fabulous hi-way fuel mileage, and she's a go anywhere/anytime girl. In the early-A, she might do low 12s. That's a heckuva car.
As a streeter, I fail to see the allure of boost.

It’s definitely a trade off and compromises have to be made but turbos can make for a great street car. Mine is a 5.9 with stock cast crank, 10.5:1 forged pistons, gapped rings, etc, etc. 3.23 gears, a very street friendly 9.5” converter and I can drive it 60 miles round trip to the track and click off not low 12s but high 10s or faster once I get it to hook.
Of course I have in my fuel delivery what it would cost to build a reliable 12s 360. I mentioned trade offs right? Lol
