that one had 302hp 320tq with a 302 block and the same top end kit i have and same injectors etc. I will b running it on a 331.so that should give me mabye 30-40 more?

330 lol not even...bolt it on out of the box with no fine tunning 290 ish and that's being generous, the one in the video most likely has a tune, why use 302 parts on a stroker??? I'd be embarrased to say I had a stroker putting down 330 hp.......also take into account what dyno is being used when the numbers come out....fyi 300 hp on a dyno jet is not 300 on a mustang dyno which is a more accurate representation of rwhp, Besides I don't chase dyno numbers, ET is what matters in my book

what would you do if you were me if you had a 3000 dollar limit...

If you had a 331 stroker, explorer intake stock heads racing pistons 255lph fuel pump voss cold air, stock injectors, stock mass air meter, 70mm throtle body, x303 cam.

And the 3000 dollars has to include the gaskets bolts ect all the small stuff too. everything. me and my dad will do all of the work the labor is free.

I'd search the forums for a used set of 30 lbs inj, and a used matching MAF, and get a set of head studs and 1011-2 head gaskets and a intake set for the explorer set up, then call up www.camshaftinnovations.com or www.flowtechinduction.com and talk to one of these guys and have them set you up with a set of heads with the correct valvetrain for the cam they design for you, roughly 300.00 for the cam, 1300-1500 for the heads pending what you get from them, leaves you roughly 1200.00 -1400.00 for inj, maf, gaskets and head bolts. sell the x-cam and that'll add to the budget, if you can't get what remains for 1200-1400 your wasting money somewhere needlessly.......use the explorer intake if not enough of the budget remains to add a better intake, however shopping the forums wisely may suprise you, the intake can easily be replaced later on......and that's what I'd do

follow the above formula and you should be 375 rwhp easy and with the right intake closer to 400
