Oh, I've been high 12s on Falken Street Radials, mid 12s with a real tire.

A set of Explorer heads, cam and intake will net 300 to the tire when done right.

So maybe I should pick up some p heads?

P heads are ok if you find some in good condition and want to keep your stock cam. If you run a move aggressive cam, then you need to upgrade the springs. Then while you are doing that you will want to get a valve job done. Then that will lead to a quick port job, and soon you will wish you would have spent that money on a set of better flowing, lighter aluminum aftermarket heads.

But... if you find good, clean, low mileage P's then throw them on and go to town. That will net a good 60-75 rwhp easily over the e7's

I was thinking 400rwhp. You can get 300-310 from a naturally-aspirated 302 with the right mods.

hey what kind of mods? lol

All the usual basic bolt-on mods (CAI/MAF/TB/pulleys/headers/midpipe/catbacks) plus aftermarket aluminium heads/cam/intake. Ported GT40/GT40P's can also get you close to 300rwhp but if they're left unported, you'd get more like 270 from the GT40's and 280 from the GT40P's.

Depends on your goals and budget.

Personally a solid HCI set up with a street blower should be enough for 400 rwhp and a lot of fun.

Damn sure wish I waited to install the parts lol, but thank you too for your help. I'm going to wait a while and pick up a 306 and build it correctly. Now all I have to do is clean my old intake, anything I can use to clean it
