Bump up the tire pressure and you'll see a big jump in HP and TQ reading. 25-30psi. But dyno numbers dont mean much except as a tuning tool. Any operator can tweak the numbers with a couple input changes.
Friend's AFR 185, Cam Motion, Victor 5.0 setup is on the dyno right now!

The head size is fine, you DONT NEED 165's on a 302, this is why LS1's PISS on the average 5.0 guy, everybody is stuck in the 90's! Whats killing the torque is the intake more than anything, it's only ported because it came off of a car with a blower and nitrous. Oh yea, this car will have both by the end of the week.
Low torque doesnt mean alot, it's a 302, which is a PISSANT sized V8, if you want a tractor pull motor, a 302 isnt it! It has a 3800 stall (3500 was a typo), 3.73's, a transbrake, a plate kit and now a blower lol. Although the intake is hurting it some. The car is gonna stay wound up the whole time during a race anyway.
Hell most people think you only need 185's on a 331, my buddy's 331 proved that theroy wrong with AFR 205's, N91 Cam, Systemax Intake, it traped 95+ MPH in the 1/8 in a full weight lx hatch.
FINALLY!!!!!
Dude I see you post here/Corral/SVTP etc and I agree with your post 99.5% of the time no matter the subject matter. I'm glad to see someone with their head on straight, its refreshing. Keep up the good work and the vids coming.

All I meant were those numbers were far from impressive, and there were reasons for it. Maybe if you change half the parts it would toss down great power, maybe with a stick it would do 350 to the tires, who knows, who cares...
If it has a blower and nitrous now it is going to scream and be a hell of a track car, and thats really all that matters.
