Not Ranked
400 HP seems a little optimistic with Edelbrock rpm heads and a 302. The trick flow stage II is a nice moderate lift cam, with a little more lift and duration than the stage I. Keith Craft uses the Stage II in a lot of their small blocks. I have a KC 331 stroker, afr 160 heads, and a Stage II cam - dyno'd 446 HP at 6000 rpm and put down 326 to the rear wheels on a chassis dyno tuner. I would guess that the 302 with Edel rpm heads would be around 350? I had a 302 with a cam similar to the stage II and Trick Flow heads that put out around 365. Funny thing - my stock 302 with a smaller cam and E7TE heads had more lower end torque and was quicker on a road racing course - with 65 less hp. Sounded nicer - nice rumble with the cam - but the lower end torque was a lot more fun to drive.
