318, 383 or other? Which one

I myself would stick with that 318. stroke it to 390, put a larger carb, 360 heads ect, headers, try to shoot for like 400 hp, and you'll kill that 454. the 80's 454 doesn't have but 290-350 hp. then when you beat him, you can say it's just a 318! really piss him off. Or i'd do the same with a 360, but build it to 408, or sb 440. the 383 block is amazing, but i'd stick with a small block!
