The cam i'll be gettin is a Anderson Ford 302 Hyd Roller Cam Shaft or a Custom Lunati.

According to my mechanic, I should do about 300HP with these set up. Oh ya, Im also gettin the Fuidyne 2 rom Alum radiator. All in all not supercharged, the build sheet he put together for me will run me around 8 grand. thats with dyno, and his labor fees...man his labor is a grip. I want to do some shopping around but here in California, San Fernando Valley he seems like "the man" around here. Which Im sure he is, it's just th prices are up there. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Oh, just for the record, I would go with some BBK or MAC headers, half the price and the same if not better performance.

8 grand is way too expensive man...... my dad had his superbee motor built to 480 hp with dyno tune for 3800.....that motor didnt run when we gave it to em lol and it was brand new afterwards so 8 grand is way too expenisev maybe 4500 at most or atleast thats the cost around here

Maybe I should ship my car to your location. It does seem a lot but you know when you start adding stuff like TB, Ford Racing 30lb injectors, motor mounts, gaskets, Harmonic Balancer, radiator hoses....stuff just adds up man...My only concern is, I just hope I will like the results from what I do. Thats why I'm here talking with you guys. I need advise from you pro's...
