    New Plan

     



    Sealed Power Forged Piston kit (10.13 : 1 c/r)
    F-303 Cam w/ Ford Racing roller lifters
    My boss going to "port the piss" out of my heads using his flowbench
    edelbrock torker I (original twisted carb design)
    MSD 6a box

    I hope that this combo will run about 275 at the wheels. Any suggestion as to what I could do for so called "free mods"???

    go to the top of this page and click on dyno tests, then click on Ford dyno tested packages. The first 3 tests show 302's making over 400 hp. It's all laid out for you, no guessing.

    What is this going in? How are you going to use it?

    You sure don't want a 5000 RPM stall converter if it is going to be a street car.

    For a street only engine you would sure be better off with a mild cam and good flowing heads. Go for low and mid torque.

    To me it sounds like you have some mismatched parts.

    Come on guys all i want to know is if i put a 200 shot on the Stock block its not a stock engine as i said a few replys ago will it crack. Well with a stock ported set of heads of course it will have a 175 till i change to an after market set of heads.

    Hi Speedy. You are the only one who knows how hard you will tip the nitrous bottle. My "guess" is u should take a magnet and a broom along for the eventual coming out party. I know the temptation is if a little bit works a lot should be better. At least thats what I do. But it will be gobs of fun while it lasts.

    Well i have desided to put the horspower right at 600 on the nitrous the ford courier truck that it is going in is going to be gutted with a (PA) transmission with trans-brake a 4800 stall and 4.10 gears in a ford 9inch i figure it will get mid 11's or it might surprise me and go high or low 10's will see or it will blow up but, it will be fun though. What do ya'll think about that?
