Guest Anonymous Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I want about 350 hp out of 302 (not 351, apparently) Since this is my goal, does anyone know a good setup to use, in order to attain this? Figured it would be better to work around that goal, instead of just throwing upgrades on- Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firebern Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I think that with a 302 HO, a Paxton supercharger, a K&N air filter, crane fireball iginition coil and Hi-6 iginition module, you could easily get these numbers. Plus get roller cams, rockers and lifters with dual exhaust pipes and you'll be burning! Are you going EFI though? Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Umm, why Paxton? Most of the Mustang people I know avoid them these days. IF you do go Paxton do NOT get one of the SN95 blowers that use the old "ball drive" system. Also do NOT go with a Powerdyne, they've had no end of problems. Vortechs (say an S trim) work in this power range and ATI blowers with an intercooler would probably put you past that figure Yeah, I freely admit I'm an ATI bigot. Look at the older P1200 or P600 series blowers used as they will certainly get the job done and then some! If you want to go NA then get a good set of heads, good intake (Cobra or GT-40 would work in this range and keep torque), mild cam, and enjoy. You could also run a blue bottle and be there with few changes from a stock shoftblock Last but not least - check out the Holly Systemax setup for Fords. I believe it's heads, intake (Nice!), and cam. Holley apparently did their homework on that package and since it's all designed to work together there shouldn't be any surprises. I'm NOT sure what it dynos out at but if you peruse a few mags or maybe check their WEB site you might find out. At the very least it would be proven parts put together for this. Givena choice I'd go blower. The feeling when boost comes on is incredible. This is also a pricey package so I completely understand anyone who opts to not do it. Used blowers are always an option though, the one on my Mustang came off of a race car and only needed bearings. Food for thought... P.S. Yeah, I've assumed an EFI setup - it's what I know best. For a carb I'm not sure, 'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Blowers are nice, but if you would like to build great HP/Torque for less, checkout: www.airflowresearch.com/ford_dyno.htm They make some of the sweetest Aluminum heads on the planet.

Dp351zcar Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 350 horsepower with a NA carbed 302 is not a problem. A good set of heads would really help get you to your goal. Edelbrock makes engine kits for diffrent power levels making it a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
