yes at the crank

they are about 185 at the wheels all stock, and your mods have not added anything really to be honest

the stock induction is good for 300 hp, so adding an intake , or TB, or MAF doesnt make you a single thing

if peple have proven they got faster by doing so, what they had was broken or improperly working

Thank You for elaborating Bob, didnt want to have to pull up the charts and hurt his feelings. LoL

And to the op it's guna take heads cam n intake + s-trim if u really want 400 at the wheels with your 5.0

it should be good for 11.80's, its not been to the track though. FYI my car with me in it...weighs under 3200

and HCI with s trim is good for more than 400

i have 2 buddies, that do 497, and the other is 512

That's most likely to the crank. My car made 220rwhp all stock with just longtubes. If you're planning breaking 400's you're definitely gonna have to give up on the N/A part unless you wanna spend more cash building it past 400 N/A than you would with spray or boost.

I wouldn't be comfortable running that with a stock block that you want to last for a while without splitting LOL

it's not smart to push it right to your blocks limit, It would be smarter to run that same setup at a reliable, comfortable, 400ish to the wheels, unless u got a real block.

if my goal was a minimum of 400 to the wheels with a 302, id run a hci s-trim combo

Oh well it's just a stock short block they're a dime a dozen as long as you don't mess up your heads in the process then screw it.

There's a dude on the Corral that split his stock block with a N/A 347 making 363RW. Some will last forever and others will break barely pushing anything.
