Default 400 RWHP N/A 302's !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just on Anderson Ford Motorsports website and happend to click on the customer cars page.

Here are 3 out of the 50 cars on there.

1. 308ci, Trickflow Twisted Wedge Stage ll Ported Heads, Anderson N-111 Cam, Ported Holley Systemax Intake, 75mm TB, 1 3/4 Headers, 398 RWHP @6500 RPMs and runs 10.7's

2. 306ci, Trickflow Twisted Wedge Stage ll Ported Heads, Anderson N-91 Cam, Edelbrock Victor 5.0 Intake, 90mm TB, 1 3/4" Headers
396 RWHP @6600 RPMs and runs 10.9's

3. 306ci, Trickflow Twisted Wedge Hand Ported Heads, Lunati Cam (Same one I have) Edelbrock Victor 5.0 Intake, 75mm TB, 1 5/8"-1 3/4" Step-headers, 401 RWHP @6500 RPMs and runs 10.9's

These 3 people had there cars tuned at Anderson Motorsports. Is it the way anderson tunes these car to make them have so much power?

I mean I have baically the same set-up as the 3rd guy listed.
306 with 11.0.1 Comp
AFR 185 Heads which are about the same as hand ported TF's
The same Lunati cam (242/252 @50 & 560/576 Lift)
Edelbrock Victor 5.0 Intake
75mm TB

I got my car tuned at Xtreme Performance in Autin, Tx and all I got was 327 RWHP @6550 RPMs

If you were running AFR165cc heads, you would have made more power, your velocity has probably suffered due to the larger heads. Your motor would greatly benefit from a shot of nitrous!

I would have gone with a smaller cam as well

But yes... definatly it takes a good tune inorder to get the full potential out of your engine... whether you do it yourself or have it done...

A tune isn't going to get you 20% more power N/A. I call BS on their combos/numbers. And I don't believe you'll gain power with an AFR 165.

I think it's quite possible, from what i understand 185s are usually better for 331s or 347s, unless the 302 is boosted.

I just got the latest issue of 5.0 & SF, has a great article ("Fox Buildup, Stage 2, Reach For the Sky") Rick Anderson using Trick FLow heads, AFM camshaft, PMS and more. They pushed out 321/343. Thats pretty impressive!!!!!
