My current set up is:

stock 302 block with GT 40 upper and lower intake (stock heads and cam)
150K miles on the engine
1.7 RR
65mm TB
MSD 6AL with Ignition Boost Retard
MSD Coil
Vortech B-Trim 6lbs boost
full exhaust (mac short headers, pro chamber mid pipe, Flowmaster Amer Thund system)
FMU 12:1
255 Walboro in tank pump
T-Rex eternal fuel pump
Aeromotive F/P regulator


I had the car dyno'd a few weeks ago and it put down 291rwhp /330 ft lb torque.
I have list of additional parts I want to throw at it and see how it does.

New List:
Vortech Power Pulley Kit (6.88" crank, 3.33" sc pulley) about 12 psi
60 lb inj
SCT 90mm MAF BA-2600
Dyno Tune w/SCT switch chip


please give me your opinions and or suggestions.

60lb/hr injectors are waaaay overkill at this point. It won't hurt anything, but you could probably pick up a set of 42lb/hr units for about half the price. They'll take you into the 500-525hp range....way more than you're probably ever going to make with a B-trim.

At this point, if it were me I'd be saving up for a set of heads as an alternative to the pulleys for now. Spinning the blower faster and trying to choke it through the stock heads isn't going to get you very far. Heads alone will probably net you 4-times the power at this point than the pulley swap. Then, when you've got it breathing properly, you can do the swap at any time.

I was wanting to hold off on the heads because I will be doing a Dart block 331 stroker, cam, AFR 185 heads and upgrading to a S or T-Trim in a couple of years.

I wanted to make sure on the injectors because 42lbs were my initial choice..

I guess you can say I was trying to maximize what I had before I got into the big ticket items..
