Ok I'm finalizing my plans for my motor rebuild next month & I already have most of the parts. Any idea on how much HP & Torque I can expect. I'm hoping to get into the mid 12's. It's a 91 LX Vert AOD

The plan is:
rebuilt stock 302 to a 306
Typhoon Intake
70mm T/B & EGR
Thumper Heads
Cobra 1.7 Rockers
E Cam
Hedman Shorty Headers
Edelbrock Performer Nitrous Kit (80hp shot)
ASP Underdrive pulleys
Remove A/C

Already on the Stang:
BBK X-Pipe with cats (I have to pass emissions)
Hooker areochamber mufflers
Sub-frames
K&N
TransGo Shift Kit
 

5spd GT

I would say about 260rwhp N/A...that 70mm TBis a bit to big for that combo...I would go 65mm...personally...

I also bought Richmond 3.73's & the compression is being bumped to about 10:1....Think this will be enough to get me into the 12's??

Is it a 'vert? Convertable auto's can be hard to get there. With the juice, no doubt you'll be close. You might want to invest in a stall. Do the double valve spring upgrade, clean up the Typhoon or get a TMOSS.

No doubt, it will make a big difference.
