You want to make the most rwhp out of a 302?

How high are you wanting to spin it?

What kind of power are you looking for?

There are not to many Intake/Cam combinations that put down anything spectacular.

but if he wants to spin it to 6500, then it won't meet that RPM..he'd have to go Track Heat, RPM 2, or SysteMAX

an intake on a stock motor isnt going to do much without heads, i would wait until you can do H/C/I all at once
