Big Block or Supercharged Small Block

I have a Senator with a 454 and a cam and intake. I found another Senator in better condition than mine with a small block and a bravo Drive. My question is if I supercharge the stock small block will it be faster that my 454?
 
It won't live very long. You really need forged internals for forced induction. You would have to build that sbc from the crank up to handle fforced air reliably.

Find a good 454 MAG MPI & have Kunkel instal with a ProCharger. I run 85 MPH GPS every day with stock motor benefits !

Do the 350 Mag motors not have forged internals? I just always assumed they did since the 454 and 502 Mag motors do.
