What kind of numbers could I get without a blower, turbo, etc....Of course I would do a H/C/I and all the little stuff, U/D's, CAI, etc....just curious how far I could get before I would have to turn to an aspirated setup
With the stock 302ci displacement, you could probably push it close to 350-380rwhp with a fairly wild engine combination. It would require a lot of gear and a pretty nasty converter in order to keep it within its power band.....and don't expect it to be very pleasant to drive under any circumstances but wide open throttle
If you want it to remain streetable, I wouldn't plan on pushing it any further than about 300-330rwhp. This can be done with off the shelf parts, while still providing decent street manners.
wrong. im very confident you could make 350rwhp and drive it in traffic every day.
its all in the combination, and the cam will make or break it.
if you really want to learn more/ hear of first hand experiences, ill go find the threads and post them here.

The "norm" for a HCI setup is 275-285rwhp with mild street oriented parts. The better performing setups are in the 290-310rwhp range. 310rwhp NA in a 94-95 is a pretty stout HCI package on a stock shortblock. A few have eclipsed it but its a rarity. I only tell you this so that you don't set unreal expectations.
When looking at 302 combos, make sure to look at other 94-95 combos because they do in fact usually dyno lower than similar combos in fox's. I made 304rwhp/331rwtq with my AFR/FTI/Edelbrock combo and similar setups in fox's were in the 315-320rwhp/330-340rwtq.
take mine for example, 95GT & 331. 10.7:1CR. i HAD rpm heads, rpm2 intake, and xe270 cam, 3.27's and aode. i now have canfield 195's, efi spyder intake, and custom cam with an intake lift of low 600's. and 4.30's and im going to a tko600 faceplated.
a very large majority of people say i am crazy to put 4.30's in a street car. i got sticky tires, i dont care. ill have a .62OD it wont screem at 3500rpms down the interstate, again not a problem. 90mm stuff and 3in exhaust what i have now (still need the tb) people say its too big. well its not.
the dyno isnt god. let the track do the talking.
