Default 375-400 Hp 302 engine?

Besides, nitrous, what would be my cheapest set up to achieve 375-400 hp from a 302 engine?

Cheapest and easiest would be s/c. But I'll be at that level with the mods in my sig, incase you want to keep it n/a

5.0 kid..u suggesting he boost it as is...no other mods to the engine? What is s trim? Cause i got an 89 with only 57k on it. Should i just boost it and call it good? Maybe get a new 1mm cometic head gasket?

On a stock engine a s/c might not be enough. S trim is a vortech unit. You may need the s-trim plus obvious bolt ons. I gt40 swap plus 1.7rr's and the s/c would be right around 400 I'd say
