gt-40 heads , explorer intake and have all supporting mods, or spend time working on suspension with minimal mods to engine and know how to drive it.

not worth it, besides the 302 block will need to be bored out for 331 pistons and balanced and you'll ned a new flywheel and balancer for 28 oz motor.

If you are going to hit it with a 125 shot just install the Nitrous and leave the rest alone. When you build the next engine do it from the ground up. You will save a lot of money that way. You can add the Nitrous to the new engine in a few months

No faith my engine can take a 125 shot huh port? Hmm I'm trying to hit 12s on this car trust the nitrous doesn't sit very well with me either but how else can you hit high to mid 12s without spending 1k on some damn heads I'm leaning more into the 1500 s/c set up I saw on here
