But now I'm giving serious consideration to removing the Explorer intake and going back to the stock intake. It may be more trouble than it's worth... clearance issues with the hood, strut bar, etc. I am thinking of taking my spare 302 I have in the basement and building a coupe built for the track and only the track.
I was happy when I had 430 RWHP (320 off the bottle.) and I may go back to my original setup...well, I'll leave the EGR off and the new headers on though (when I get to installing them.) But I think it's time for a 100% strip coupe. (I've been watching too much Pinks.
You know what my real problem is? I just can stop playing with engines, lol. Always looking for some excuse to remove or add something.

Did you run the 10lbs of boost and nitrous with your FMU and 19lb injectors? Whoa!

And then if I do decide to buy the hood, brace, etc... then I will probably have to upgrade the tranyn and driveshaft, as there will be too much power to keep those together. That's kind f the reason why I want to do a swap and put it back to what it was this summer, leaving only a few of the chages. Then I want to buy a cheap coupe (got a lot around here), rebuild my spare 302, stroke it to 347, put a blower on it, and push that one to around 500 or so HP instead of puttin everything on my DD vert.

I didn't realize you had nitrous on your old setup. Probably would have been close if you did. Without the bottle I was around 320 RWHP with a moderate tune. never dared to get too agressive with the timing.
