I have the same situation and questions. I have a 302 crate motor (rated at 345) with airgap manifold, 670 street avenger, GT 40 alum x heads, roller rockers, MSD electronics--in a BDR with a T5 and 391 LSD. It pulled 280 RWHP on a dyno. It revs fast and pulls pretty good for a SBF. I think the 391 LSD helps greatly in the seat of your pants experience.

However, i am thinking about upgrading of course. LOL I love the look of Webers, either the 8 stack or even the DCOE side drafts. But that could push $5K for the former. And tuning could be a problem. I am not sure if this would help performance though.

I was also considering 3 2 barrels or dual quads. Again this might be ovrrkill with no increase in performance. The last resort would a new short block but i hate to trash what i currently have--only 4k miles on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
