What is the most hp you think you can get out of a 302 ci motor with power adders included but without changing the cubes?

Really not to much holding you back untill you split the block........This question really has no answer. You might make 650hp @ 20psi but it will only last for a short time, you know what I'm sayin?

it depends on how much money you have, what block,internals,heads,cam,intake, everything depends but i have seen a N/A 302 get to 550 HP (14:1 CP, nasty a$$ cam). So i really have no idea what a turbo could do for one. But you really need to specify the question a little more because it could probly range into the 1000's

i guess why i'm asking is because i don't see the purpose of stroking to 306? if you can do the same with 302 and put the stroker kit money else where.

A 306 is not a stroker. Like everyone else said, the block is the weak link. A 302 with a hefty amount of boost can be pretty nasty but once you start to get above 450 rwhp or so your sitting on a bomb basicly. Can a stock block 302 make 650 horse? Yes it can. Will it last? No it wont.
