You should really think about getting a set of heads for that, it would really open it up I bet. Whoever voted the 350/400 is dreamin'... Get some heads and you could be at that number.

At the crank or at the wheels?

the 40over isnt worth much hp, 5 at best. with the stock heads the cam wont add more then ~12hp, the intake might be worth anther 15hp, headers are ~7hp and that carb is way to big so that will kill most if not all the power the other mods got you.

im gunna say around 280, the 85 heads arnt to bad for flow. they are almost the same as the e7's. the 86's were **** however.

car craft took a stealth intake, 625 cfm demon carb, stock heads, stock cam and stock bottom end and made 278hp. the carb and intake can make 45hp pretty easy on a stock 302. everyone always puts down carbs but when you are dealing with 45 years of experence with a small block ford the aftermarket has them figured out.

right here

get rid of those shortys and that carb is way too big. and why do you have e303 cams¿ where did you stick the other one¿ i feel sorry for you if you drive that around the city. probably has no bottom end and eats gas like a fat kid in a twinky shop. the car looks damn nice tho
