Between the PMS I just paid for and the I/C swap, I should see really nice gains. Highbredcloud said:
Grn92LX said:Did you tell him you had a goal of mid 11's? Theres another guy going 11.60's with TW heads on corral and Ed recommended an RPM II for him. He ran 11.60 @ 113. I have no doubt that you can run high 11's with the performer. With the lack of cubic inches its not as easy for a street car with stock internals (no expensive light weight stuff) to have killer low end AND insane up top pull to run past a ZO6 vette from a roll on the highway. I am in no way trying to tell you what to pick, rather i'm just throwing in some examples of what guys are using to achieve the goals you want. I am also posting what Ed told me since we seem to have similar plans. My only downfall is im only about 9.5:1 compression. I'd love to be around 11:1. Don't be afraid of "big" intakes either. The powerband rating doesn't tell the full story, its ALL in the combo. I want to do another Ed cam and a Holley systemax II like I said above but when its 25* out, i'm in no rush to pull my car apart and get frost bite in the process

I sold the supercharger and i'm very glad I did. The stroker i'm gonna hold off on, again, due to money. Its not cheap to build a 10 second stroker the right way. I did buy the PMS because I have some idle issues I need to tune out and then work on dialing in my WOT tune. My car went 109 mph untuned running lean with like 292hp. I would say it would have gone 112+ dialed in. Our local track got shut down for good so that doesn't really matter anymore. Now i'd just be adding more power for kicks and more fun. My heads are milled .020" to 57.6cc. With what Ed was talking about I would be in the 115+ range with a new cam and intake. He mentioned 335+rwhp so actually, that should be faster than 115mph but not too worried about numbers. Its all about having fun.Grn92LX said:Dude, I change my mind a lot due to money

)...which I attribute to the cam/intake...I personally would keep the Ported Cobra over the Performer because of the money/power ratio...but I think the Performer would allow more room for growth...
...next on the list is DR's...Nittos... ...and I still can ride at 2300rpm on the highway ... Hmm, what gear did Ed recommend for me, take a guess and no it doesn't start with a 3 
So, please don't say I don't know how to recommend parts for a specific application when its dead obvious its the other way around. To add yet another example of a cobra on an afr/fti combo, lets look at yet another of my friends cars My friend chris's car on here went 110 mph. Is that enough for 11.50???? Nope.90Notch said:
Grn92LX said:david, now your telling me with HIS GOAL of 11.50's a ported cobra and a 373 gear is enough? LOL I sure do know how to give advice for the SPECIFIC goal, hence why I recommended a "bigger" intake than a cobra with a ported lower. You car only runs like 84 mph in the 1/8 mile if I remember, thats no where close to HIS 11.50 goal so i'm not too sure as to why your saying my advice is wrong? For HIS goal he NEEDS a 410+ gear. Ask Ed and see what he says *chuckles*
...atleast I don't change my mind all the time and am set with what I want... I wasn't knocking your 84mph track time, what I was doing was showing highbred that your combo is NOT a mid 11 combo and I was trying to show (with the many REAL world examples I posted) that bigger parts are needed for his 302 to run 11.50's. He needs to talk to Ed and tell him exactly what he wats. To go 11.50's in a 302 you ARE gonna give up a little low end but as Ed said, "its nothing you cant live w/o". For my car with the changes i'm planning Ed says RPM II or Holley. I guess i like going a little faster than the norm and I dont worry if the dyno shows a 10ft/lbs loss at 2300rpm. I would say once I dial it in with the PMS I will be very happy. Happy Holidays

looks like a pretty determined sales pitch to me.tmoss said:
highbred, my ported lower Cobra intake has made 306RWHP/329RWTQ on AFR 165 heads with a mild 15511 cam and my ported Performer has made 332RWHP/348RWTQ on AFR heads and an EDC cam. Neither is likely to put you into the 11s. You have to decide if you want a fast street car as you stated or a N/A race car that can be driven on the street.
I've got a suggestion - same one I made before. Why not put the intake you have on as it will cost you a gasket set. If your not happy and think another intake will make more power, an intake swap is easy to do - justr don't sell the Cobra too quickly, just in case. Check out Robert Pearson's walk down that street - his dynos of one of my ported Explorer intakes and then a RPMII is in the link under my avatar.

Grn92LX said:I NEVER turned anything into anti ed. WTF did that come from? Newsflash I RUN an FTI cam/springs and am planning another cam. When I said the 373 was "tiny" I meant for highbred's goals. Not sure what the little "at least I dont change my mind" comment was for?? Thats like me saying "at least I have the money to buy what I want"
...blah blah blah internet myth blah blah blah Same goes for that guy with the heavy 3600lb vert who gained 1.72mph 
For my car right now, my main concern is getting my PMS and tuning for drivability, idle and then work on WOT. Its too god damn cold out to rip my car apart to do a cam/intake swap, but that is what I wanna do. I also gotta pull my tremec and put in an extended fork, fun
