Even then dynos varies wildly from one shop to the next and depending on the type of dyno used. Get it running right and make a few clean passes at the drag strip for an indication of how much power your making. But my guess is 267.7451 WHP.

Flames and a spoiler are good for a tenth in the quarter

I hear if you put a weed wacker muffler on you really feel the difference.

302 that is punched .30 over with all new internal and some external parts. New parts include: Cast iron gt40 heads, Ford Racing (Pistons, E303 cam, lifters, push rods, 32 pound fuel injectors, valve covers), Scorpion 1.72 rocker arms, Summit Racing (Gear drive, high flow oil pump, lower intake, EGR valve, 75mm throttle body, 1 in. intake manifold spacer, high flow fuel pump), Trick Flow RS (Race Series) 75mm upper intake, BBK (Mass air sensor matched to 75mm throttle body, shorty headers, off road H-Pipe with 40 series Flowmaster single chamber mufflers turned down at center of car).

Driving the car, it honestly seems like a turd. But with all that it should have some more juice to it...

Thank you for the help!

Default Octane stuff lmfao!!!

With that set up I wouldn't expect them to be running much over 50 or 60% which leave about 25 to 35 % duty to play with later on if you decide to start adding more power to it. Don't waste your money on that 108 octane stuff they sell at autozone , instead take that 5 bucks to subway and get a sandwich it will give you more energy that the 108 will give your car. Your car feels like a turd because someone went to the trouble of doing the work to the motor first instead of upping the gear ratio first. Gear it time it drive it.... and if you can get some longtubes on those heads , The car will wake up with a shot of adrenalin like you wouldn't believe.

That octain stuff is $16.oo qt and will help any cars injectors n fuel system in general ;-) as it is a complete fuel system cleaner and boosts yer octain up to 7 points!!! (CAN'T HURT ALTHOUGH NOT A CURE FOR YER PROBLEM) any car u just purchased could use a tune up,oil change and an overhaul in general lol!!! I own a 600hp supercharged, stroked, 93 fox not much left to the imagination in mods from throttle body to exhaust! I did not build car personally however a wrench head clearly did (with no expense spared well over 30k in mods interior,paint,motor,trans,suspension n on n on!!! (That being said that 108 octain stuff made my beast run a tad nicer in argueably!) swak ;-)
