Edelbrock products are very well made. What sold me on the Vic Jr's I just bought was that every bolt hole is helicoiled, the valve springs are good up to .650 lift, and they are affordable. IMO trickflow is at the bottom of the NAMEBRAND food chain. Im not bashing trickflow, hell I have a couple of trickflow parts on my car.

What about a Holley SysteMax II package? They advertise 350hp out of your 302 with it. Add the NOS Big Shot to it and be happy?

What about AFR 165s or 185's, MM&FF just put some ported 165's on their project Capri and it added 60HP ovet ported 7TE heads, I would go for the 185's if you plan on using a PA or going to a 347
I have no clue on the Cam, ask an engine builder

ok if i went with edelbrock it would be the performer intake, performer heads(#60379), the cam has yet to be picked.
for trick flow it would be the track heat kit.

I'd stay away from the Edelbrock heads. Go with the Trick Flow's or AFR's.

I don't think they're intake have a carn number and they're cam doesn't .
I don't know I don't want to buy it and I could have gotten the edelbrock parts and gone faster or visa versa.

The street heat intake is 50 state legal as are the Twisted Wedge heads. I'm not sure about the cam but you should pass with a stage 1 cam. If you are worried about having a CARB number for the cam just tell the smog guy it's a E cam.

im not worried about the cam, just about the intake and heads, does trick flow sell replacement carb stickers for the street heat intake?
i bought my street heat used and it didnt come with the carb number.

Ok what do you guys think about this combo,
302 bottom end
Performer intake
Performer heads
What would be a good cam for that too end? I was thinking about the edelbrock cam that is in the performer package.
I know Haulinassmaro will approve. And then throw some N20 at it and would I be able to hit low-mid 12's on drag radial's?
I need to convert to mass air and get my sub frame connectors and 373 gears I want to hit low 12's NA then have the nitrous as a backup incase things get close.
Sounds like a good combo. Are you rebuilding your motor at the same time? If so I would build a 347 and not a 302. The minimal extra cost will be well worth the result ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Don't forget to budget for an upgraded fuel system, roller rockers, etc.
i want to see how fast i can go with the stock 302 and im not going to do a 347 with the stock block.
for fuel im prob gonna get some 36lb injectors and maf, i already have a 255lph pump and aeromotive fpr.
Whats wrong with a 347 in a stock block? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
With the combo's you are talking about you couldn't possibly make enough power to hurt it.

There is nothing wrong with using a stock block for a N/A 347. My first choice in heads would be AFR, Edelbrock, then trickflow.

who said i was staying n/a ?
i just dont want to blow the damn thing up.
if i stay with the stock block id do a 306,stroker wise im going with a aftermarket block, if im going to dish out a couple grand on a engine, i would do it right the first time and still have piece of mind that i would make more power out of it.

If you plan on going with a power adder then I would suggest stepping up to 42lb injectors (instead of the 36's mentioned in an earlier post). Also, I would go with an inline pump in addition to the 255 in tank.
A 331 w/ a blower is a good combo IMO. A stock block should be able to handle 450RWHP. I would use a girdle. Going with an aftermaket block is good but it will set you back around 2g's just for the block.

Um, I don't care to go back and check 4 pages of posts, but I don't recall you mentioning any power adder in any of your combos that you listed. Therefore you said you were going N/A
