That's exactly right... it is your truck do what you want to do and either way you can make a screamer some people like sb's and some like bb's it is personal preference...

bottom line do what you want to do...not what we want you to do..

If cost is not a factor go bigblock. If you are on a budget stick with a small block. I built a 400hp small block for my truck and never even installed it. I sold it and am gouing to build a 600+hp bigblock. Just love the rumble of a big block. Plus all that torque is hard to beat.
