What do yall think of this setup?
So Im building a short block right now. This is what Im putting together...
91 302 bottom end
Stock TRW forged pistons
Studded mains
Studded heads
Main Girdle
Windage Tray
X-303 cam
AFR 185 (Nitrous exhaust port) heads
Ported Professional Products Typhoon Intake
Holley 650 dbl pumper
MSD Ignition
Electric Fan
10:1 compression
My cousin is hooking me up with a Cold Fusion Nitrous kit. I'll prolly run a 125-150 shot.
As far as a tranny, Im deciding between either a TKO or an Astro T-5. I have 4.10 gears and I'm going to be running 275/60 drag radials. Im taking out the AC, power steering, and relocating the battery to the back. Once Im done with the motor, I'm going to do a full UPR suspension. I'm shooting for mid to low 10's on the juice.
What do yall think? Any hp estimates? Im thinking 330-340ish to the wheels on motor.
If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them! As far as the cam, I've had an X-cam laying around so thats what Im using. Later on I'll prolly hit up Jay Allen for a custom one. This project wont be done till around the end of spring time. Im waiting on that income tax check and I'll prolly take out a small loan. PS, when the time comes, i'll be selling my AFR 165's (emissions legal) and Crane roller rockers.

yeah I only have 6 total passes on it and 1 no2 run here is the best n/a run with an easy launch and one no2 run only because the guy racing me wrecked and event was shut down and it was last race of the season...had I had one more no2 run I'd of busted a 10 sec e.t...I took it easy on the first ever no2 run as I wanted to play it safe and I had pulled 8 degrees timing.......I'm working on revising some of the combo for the spring as I'd like more out of it n/a

Those times are still attainable even with the X-cam. A friend of mine (cprstreetmachines) is running it with his turboed 67 and he is running high 10's.
6.90's at 101 in the 8th mile. I want to email Jay, but Im not going to until I have the money to go through with it. We've all the stories of how he treats tire kickers. LOL

BTW, I know the 5.0 block's limits are around 450 to the wheels. Its not like Im going to be spraying the motor every day. Its all in the way you build it and tune it. There are stock blocks in the 9s, granted Im sure that every time they make a pass, they are praying that it wont be the last one on the block. This is just going to be my weekend street/strip car. I'm hardly going to drive it around town much. The cops hate my car here. I've been pulled over quite abit here.
