If I plan to keep it a few years and want sports car performance and nearly no maintence it's straight up Coyote. If I want to only use half the pedal and scare the **** out of myself then put an SC on it.
If I want to make maintenance a headache, kill the balance of the car, put a tiny air cleaner on to clear the hood and choke the engine, and generate a ton of unnecessary heat then a 385 series might be it.
I did build a car with an all aluminum FE for a buddy of mine and it is an excellent sounding and driving car. It simply is a stretch for the $ vs results and he really does not ring it out too hard for he fears ever having to replace it.
I can find something in each one I really like, it's just a matter of which does the most and for how much.

What EFI systems do you find yourself using on your stroked windsors? I don't think the self learning applications really live up to their expectations when it is a performance platform......it really looks like its a Holley or FAST market. I really like the look of the Holley system but it says their throttle body Terminator setup is limited to 600HP. I would think the it is hard to beat the cost of a throttle body EFI setup with the laptop programmable ECU's and a solid tune. Are you doing any in-line pump EFI or is everything in the tank and return style?
