392 to ????
I'm a long way from having to do anything but the "How Much Is Too Much?" thread got me thinking about what I would do when it's time to work on my engine. Currently, I have a Ford Racing 392 with 4 - 48 IDA Webers. The engine with a 750 Holley and Victor Jr (which I still have) supposedly makes 475 HP. Haven't put the car on a dyno so I don't know what it makes with the Webers. From here, would you go to 402/408 or all the way to 427? Stay with the Webers or go to a 4 - barrel? Maybe go with a multi-stack FI setup? From the other threads about Webers, apparently the 48 IDA won't make over 500 HP but I like the linear pull. Is a muti-stack FI setup limited HP-wise for the same reasons as the Webers? When I'm around other cars, I always end up with cam envy since the Webers smooth out the lope and won't tolerate a lot of overlap anyways. On the other side of the coin, my current setup is very streetable and still provides excellent power. So many choices. What would you do?
