RE: hp estimate
well if ur using the stock block, a stroker + the turbo you talked about would be maxing the block out.
a N/A 331 can make around 400-425 bhp and a 347 is close to 450.
if you want to use the turbo, i say just bore the 302 block 30over which would be the 306. keep the compression ratio below 9.5:1.
you can make around 325-350bhp with the 306 N/A. dont want to go past 500bhp, i think its 10hp per every psi of boost...that would be 15psi. i dont think i would run more than 12psi. make sure u have a shop balance the assembly the best they can possibly do. and use girdles for everything. then have fun lol the 245's arent going to get you traction, get some 255 drag radials.

Hey huntsman don't worry about 90mustang5.8 that nice picture of a horse he posted is used to pull his engineless notch around because that's all is good to be used for now is a horsedrawn carriage for the horse to crap in!!! good luck at the track huntsman!!!

i dont ask silly questions like how much hp does my car put out? if your going to the track, take your ET and MPH and figure out your hp
86 5.0, i bet my engineless notch could still beat your 86

Is that anyway to treat a new guy espesially after all the help you ask for?
So it's basically a cam and intake right? 240-250 range, and that's prolly being generous.

RE: hp estimate
Since u only have 103k id leave it alone and get those e7's off there cause there garbage that should wake u up alot depending on which head u get. Also yea u got and aftermarket cam but ummmm its not that great yea better then stock but not much better. Custom cam with a good set of heads and ud have a nice DD.
