400 hundred at the wheels isn't to hard with a 302. AFR 205's, comp 282 roller cam, and victor jr intake should get you right around 400 at the wheels with around 10:1 compression pistons. It won't be cheap though.

depends what you want to do with it too, H/C/I and a power adder (turbo, nitrous, super charger) will easily put you around 400 hp. If you wanta drag car then do drag suspension and weight reduction, if you want a nice street car, I would imporve the handleing and breaks etc....

It all depends on what you want

Supercharger or nitrous, not both.

2 kwik his stock maf is 70, so why bother gettin a 73 or 76 for now, if anything just get a 90 lightning one like i did, because all the otehrs other than maybe an 80 that vortech makes and an sct will peg. That being said, do a hci and a supercharger or nitrous and you will be there if the rest of your drivetrain stays intact. Also full auto ill disagree with you on zachs setup with the afr 205's on the 302 that would probably get close to 400 just it wont have much torque and will have to rev to 7 grand to make it.
