Your thoughts?
I have a B&B with a stock 302. engine only has 8K ran great and Dynoed at 250 at the rear.But want more power. I purchashed from Summit the following main items:
TFS-51400002 heads TFS-51400510 roller rockers TFS-51402000 cam stage 1 Edelbrock RPM endurashine It had stock GT40 heads B303 cam Edelbrock Performer Holly 600cfm Keeping the same carb |
The two quickest and cheapest mods for more acceleration are nitrous and higher numerical rear gears. There is also a lot of power wasted in most side exhaust systems. Of course, dropping in a big block would help! :D :D
Good luck on your small block rebuild. |
If you Dynoed at 250 at the rear with a stock 302 something was done to it. I have a 302 with alum elbroke 202 heads air gap intake , stage 2 trick flow cam and 650 holley and I have 275 at the rear wheels. ED

**) I think that carb is going to hold down your numbers@ the rear wheels**)

wild bill
how about a proform center bodie for the holley 650 is this the way to go ed |
351 CLEVELAND. IMO:o)

package deal
i think anything that has better meetering is going to help it run better to the top end of corse it all has to be a ballanced to work together right carb for the right cam and heads this isnt really something to guess at our engine builder spent a lot of time knowing us and what we were going to do with our car all this figuers in to the package:D

BBRED302 What type of Hp are you looking for? What budget limits do you have in mind? |
I want about 325hp at rear with more torque going from 2-3 gear. I have the dyno test and she did 250 at the rear. Again she had 250hp with cast GT40 heads, edelbrock performer and ford B303 cam. I hope I get this...I think I should. One thing the carb and engine were built in 1993 had 8K miles so the carb is a little old but dam she ran good. But need more power.

I'm very far from being an expert; it's just a hobbie. I read a fair amount on this. It's been 30 yrs since I built a high performance engine, myself. My gut feel is that it's possible, but getting near the top end of what a 302 can do, without going radical.
If you call the manufacturer, they should be able to tell you what you will get. There are some guys around here with a pretty extensive data base with some desk top dyno software. One may see this and give you some numbers. Good luck. |
