my boy has a frpp 302, cobra upper and lower, trickflow twisted wedge heads, e303 19lb injectors, 70mm throttle body, cold air, pulleys ect...... he got tuned at Apex motor sports b4 they shut down. he was dynoed @ 350 crank and 305 rwhp. so jus the blower alone should have you about 350 rwhp.

Yeah thts what I was thinking. when the guy told me in the 300 I was thinking , what the hell did I even build this car for ?

I damn near have everything I want on the motor except for meth. injection right now.

I'm hoping for @ least 400.

I say 420, the only limiting factor I think is your cam and intake.

I should've went with a bigger cam, what intake would work good with my combo

My cusin made 400 with almost the same set up , just an x cam and a stock 302 short block

I run a systemax on my car but for yours I would say a track heat or a rpm

throw in an F cam and water meth kit then dial it in, you'll be a bit happier.

420 sounds about right. I don't think the intake will limit you much (especailly if you port the lowre) but you should consider another cam.

Someone I know had a similar combo and had right under 400 to rear wheel.
Like most said, change out the cam and go with a systemax intake.

Should be in the 385/390 range, as long as your valve springs are up to par.

+1; 8 pounds is a good start; your limiting factors are the cam and intake....

On my stock bottom end including stock cam, I made 420rwhp with my little Edelbrock Performers and Cobra Intake. It ran an 11.43 @ 121.7mph on some magical day at Sac. The conditions must have been perfect for it to run that quick. Its race weight w/o me in it was 3350lbs.

The valve springs were junk though and they cut through the shims. There were only 14k miles on them and I shifted around 5800rpm. I think the shims are what messed up my stock motor. It got tons of blowby and when I took it out I found shim material under the valve covers and the #7 cylinder wall was a little marked up.

Oh, that was with the stock pulley's giving me about 10psi with no power pipe.

I think you will be happy.
