What am I missing here?
Im still continuing with the modding of my 94 cobra but I want to make sure there is nothing I can do BEFORE the heads and cam go in/on.
Heres what Ive got and I want to know what I can still do to reach my goal of 350rwhp:
3.73's, BBK shorties, o/r x-pipe, duel chambered flows (dumps), pulleys, 80mmMAF, 76mm C&L inlet, 70mm TB, Trick Flow Track Heat intake, All Saleen Suspension, Hi-6 w/ lx-92 coil, MSD 8.5mm wires
I will be putting on AFR 165's with 9.6 compression i believe it is and a CraneCams PowerMax 2030 camshaft. Thanks for the help or recomendations...

lol, thats what i would say unless you plan on doing something big. 350 rwhp is a pretty steap goal to be going for N/A on a 302. Definatly get a custom chip burnt, or a tuner, when ur done putting the cam and heads in.

How big of a shot can you put into a 94 302 with stock internals? Supercharging is an option for me but I don't want to replace any internals so I think sc is a bit much am I wrong?

no, but you need to limit the boost to about 6-8 psi or so until you change the pistons out to forged ones. you didn't mention them, but you can go with 1.72 rockers on those new heads and pick up a little bit more HP and torque. and removing any dead weight in the car will help improve the performance too as it takes HP to move it down the road for sure.

RE: What am I missing here?
My pistons are the stockers, thats why i wanted the 165 with the 1.9 intake valve i wouldn't need to put in new pistons. I have 1.7s in there (stock cobra) but i want to put in 1.6's with ym cam and heads because with the 1.7 i don't think ill have the clearance with the big rockers.
Maybe Ill end up using forged pistons with reliefs and go all out with the 185's and an even bigger cam. The problem with that then is money Im looking so spend about 2 grand in parts and labor and i don't think thats gonna cut it...
