Should I? Another blower build.

I had fun while it lasted. I was getting 6psi under driven on a basiclly stock pontiac 400 motor but it only lasted a few weeks. I had some beers with my buddies and at the end of a night we swithced the pulleys to 12psi over driven. We had a lot of fun that night. Next morning party was over. It lifted a head on a right bank and water in #2 and 4 cylinders. I went back with an old motor. I could do so much with cast iron heads and piss 91 octane gas here. Anyway now I want to try something different. I have my old bracket motor that I could take the heads of and another 400 block ready to go. Pretty much I have everything to try it again. I drive my truck a lot.
So, do you guys think I should do it again?

This is a no brainer. Of course you should do it again.
