Default 347 Stroker Kit

How much more horsepower could I expect from an Eagle 347 Stroker Kit for my stang? Right now I have about 300rwhp with a 308.

also, would it benefit to get a custom grind cam and get rid of my E303 cam?

Using the 302 parts, maybe 50rwhp more. If you bought a Scat kit from me, you could use the money you saved to upgrade some of your supporting parts.

Yes, but are you willing to pay for a real custom and not someone's "custom" OTS cam?

Scat and Eagle are the 2 largest brands of stroker kits. IMO, Scat is the better kit. That's why I choose to sell them instead of Eagle. They will make the same power.

By custom cam, I mean buying a cam from a cam designer and not just calling Comp, Crane, Anderson Ford, Bennett Racing and everyone else who just chooses a lobe out of a book.

who could I get a custom cam from and how much would it cost? also, I have a lot of supporting mods on my car, but it would only make 50 more rwhp?

I'm sure you do have a lot of supporting mods on your car. But they are for a 302. You're only making 300rwhp, so you haven't even maxed out what you have. If you add 15% more cubic inch, you need 15% more induction. In your case, you probably need 25% more induction.

You need to buy the 347 kit and work with what you have. If you're not satisified, you can upgrade parts individually later. If you want to do it all at once, plan on dropping $5k in a day.
