Hey guys,
i have been gone for many many many years but am going to be purchasing a used 5.0 302 from a friend for $300. Perfect condition... as of right now i have ford motorsport equal length headers, a new h-pipe is needed so i was contemplating on switching to long tubes since the motor is out of the car and i need a new h-pip anyway.. is there a significant power increase with the long tubes? or should i save the extra money and put that towards a camshaft since i will be putting my supercharger back on it...

I was running about 8lbs of boost before, and had a bigger crank pulley to put on to get more boost... what size injectors would you recommend? 30lb?

its been so long, i used to be helping everyone on here, but i forgot it all lol

Adam

you'll want 42# injectors if your running an S/C. Longtubes will net you a bit more power and sound better IMO

I say save the money and spend it on something else unless you have plenty and you're not worried about it. LTs and an pipe for them will run around $500 or so and you can pick up just an h-pipe for 150 or so....350 dollars better spent on an intake possibly?
