Your not gonna feel a difference at all going from a 302 to a 306, but after 160k it would be stupid not to clean up the walls while it is apart. Many people misconcieve boring for a reason to gain power. Not true at all

RE: 302 or 306
The car is burning quite a bit of oil even though it has only 160k on it but the car had a procharger on it before i bought it and went to the track quite often, so it has been run pretty hard. So i will probably take your advice and go with a 306 forged flat top this summer and hopefully next summer through a hci kit on there

RE: 302 or 306
Is this your only ride? If so, I would stay away from nitrous use. It is a little to volatile for me.
Equal dish, to equal dish, the 306 will increase compression slightly.
I added BBK Longtubes over some smashed up shorty headers (same primary size), rebuilt the bottomend from a 302 to a 306, and ported my Performer intake, to match the AFR heads.
Gained 1.3 MPH with no other changes.
I would not expect much of a gain, if you keep compression roughly the same.
