You have the info you need....I would have said if it had after market heads.. and what not.The more experienced guys that i really want advice from are asking so obviously they have an idea about me car..anyways,,,,one last time.STREET CAR,STOCK HEADS,HOLLEY 600 VAC SECs,STOCK CAM (if i bailed on the cam obviously it was stock) you dont need the compression ratio to determine the intake and whatnot.77 where are ya man?need the advice from pros..

if you didnt already have the intake i would say buy something else, but since you do i would stick with it. its not worth the cash to swap over to something that may only be a tad better.

my advice? quit being a nancy and go get yourself a bigger bumpstick [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]

Well considering I work as an engine Builder/Tuner at a shop that deals with higher end stock car and drag motors I was asking for some perameters to get an overall feel for your engine as it is better to look at it as an overall package, thats why I asked camshaft, compression, heads, carb, use. So before you go saying things maybe you should realize that some of us with actual engine building experience are trying to help you, and like i said, stop being so short sided to build an engine correctly especially when your adding piece by piece you must look at it as an overall package and what affects your current package will have on your new component and visa versa.

I was going to help you but I guess you and your bone stock 302 know it all already.
