Default HELP! Top End Suggestions For Procharged 302

I posted already, but got no responce! I have a 302 with stock efi setup, 19# injectors, factory tb,and intake. I have light ported heads e7s 3 angle, bigger valves and bigger springs (than stock). The cam is a e303. The bottom end is forged. But my question is what should I buy or would you suggest purchasing for this motor to make good power safetly and run it into the 10's. It is a radial tire car, im just kickin this 302 together to run it and sell it. I have intensions of making it a big tire BB car in the future. But I just bought a D1 procharger cog setup for a good deal, and i want to bolt it to the 302 and run like hell. Another guy floatin around town has a 306 with the same setup more stock parts, claims he is makin 647 to the wheels... and almost 900 in torque???? sounds questionable, tell me about it, but if anyone can help please!! thanks

You need to state a budget. You need to address your fuel system before you drop money into H/C/I. You need to lose the cogs. Your friends numbers are BS. Don't plan on making 650rwhp on a stock roller block for any amount of time. After you've taken care of all this, buy the biggest heads and intake you can afford.

1) that guy is an idiot child, 2) as far as heads and intake goes bigger is not alway better, 3) ported e7's are still e7's.....get rid of them.

450rwhp on stock block, after that its borrowed time, ticking time bomb.
dart block-sky is the limit
351w- ~600rwhp is about the limit

h/c/i 331 w/ good street manners - ~325rwhp
h/c/i 347 w/ good street manners- ~350rwhp

to run 10's reliably for a long time...get an aftermarket block, choose your cubes, good heads and intake and cam to match rpm range your looking for and boost it till you hit 10's.

Those are very hard on street cars. When you let off the gas, there is no slip to the belt. It's common to have keyways snapped off the crank. Most people will run dual keyways in cog setups.

Greenstreak that is a nice piece you have there on your sig. props to you on that. I just want to build somthing thats gonna be good on the street, be able to drive it to the track make some passes and drive home put it away! end of story. Yeah the ticking time bomb thing sounds like what its gonna turn out to be, but i guess theres no real answer on what power stock block can make. Even though my block is out of a v8 t-bird. I think they are rated low because people spraythe hell out of them and that not good puttin all that stress on the motor at the flick of a button. but im doing my research, believe me, and i appreciate everything everyone is posting.
