in your opinion to make a 302 run 11's N/A. no weight reduction. I might be starting a project.

LOL. there is only one thing on me that is big and fat and the girls dont want that reduced

hmm lets see
what year car ? im guessing fox body ?
auto or stick ? guessing stick
carb or EFI ? cheeper w/a carb/guessing EFI
and why no weight reduction ?
here's a start
lots of cam, compression, RPM, MAJOR heads
nad MAJOR traction...
THEBRAIN's buddy w/a NA 347 is putting down 350+RWHP w/ nothing fancy and running 12.4s on DR's. now put that motor in a LX w/ some slicks and thers your 11's NA.. what do you think ?!?!

hang with your car? why dont ya put a 125 shot on the stang and see what it runs then, you know make it fair hehe. BTW some years have forged piston 87-90? i think in the 5.0s not sure on the years but they do, you could run a 200 shot or something hahahaha

I'm not saying it can't be done. Lots of people have done it. I'd just like to point out that it takes a VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT combo to do it. Unless you're *extremely* serious about doing this and have the $$$ and time to do it right, you should look for a smaller project.

'Kyle' on the corral and one other guy run 11.7-11.9 with full weight (this is the Internet guys, so I call BS on that from the outset), AFR heads, Edelbrock RPM intakes, and a custom cam from the mythical man Ed Curtis. Kyle even shaved his heads to bump the compression even more than those puny 54cc chambers have stock.They are trapping around 113-116 NA with full weight fox bodies (3400 ish race weight supposedly...)
Not bad. One dude runs the ET streets even. Other dude ET drags.
No weight reduction is a serious penalty. For instance, pulling the front swaybar is almost a requirement for the kind of launch (1.60 or so 60') that you're going to need.

my opinion on the easiest way to do it:'64- '68 mustang (lighter than the '87+ foxes)
289 or 302 (289's can do it too!)
carbed
serious heads
serious solid roller cam/valvetrain
high rpm intake
demon 650 or similar carb
7000+ rpms or so should do it!
That would be fun. It would idle like a mean S.O.B. as an added bonus!

Just a little compression a well matched heads cam and intake combo and decent sized header the right gear not to mention a good tune
