boosted 5.0

[huntnfish09]

what is the max boost(turbo) a 302 can handle? I've heard only9-10psi but that sounds kinda low to me, maybe 9-10 for a supercharger?

What limits an engine to the amout of boost it can handle?

What are we talking about here? A bone stock engine or a built engine?

stock short block, AFR 185 heads, 4 into 1 exhaust

I'm pushin around 12psi on a stock rebuilt block, ported stock heads. I don't see any problems.

I actually spiked to 19psi ONE time when I was adjusting my boost controller.

Really built motor can probably support up close to 30psi I'd think... I've seen little Hondas boosting that much, so why tha hell can't ours? They're more stable and powerful anyway

the stock block will never hold that much boost. I would bet with the 185 heads, you'll be in block breaking territory somewhere around 16psi.
