Default what kind of hp?

Just wondering what kind of horsepower I would make with my setup...and a guess at quarter mile times...1/8th mile times... and how much nitrous is safe on this build
87 Foxbody GT
5.0 stock bore
*Forged 9.5 to 1 pistons, forged rods. stock crank. ARP bolts
Windsor Jr. Heads professionally ported and polished
Trickflow stage 1 Cam somewhere around 500 lift i do believe
Triflow R intake
Injectors
1.6 roller rockers
bbk X pipe super 10's with long tubes.
3.73 gears with T5

*I think my heads are 58cc chamber and i have flat tops so what would that make my compression.

the r intake is overkill for your setup and as far as compression wise there are to many variables to just tell you ...


but to guess for you 285rwhp and 100-150 shot should be fine

are the 302 blocks weak? I read somewhere that they can only handle like 400 hp.... makes me worry about spraying it...

with what you got a 100 shot will be fine as long as your not doing it all the time...
