BV1,
you could still do quite a few things to your car...now I realize you aren't made of money, but why don't you have a lightend flywheel yet? After I put in my headers that maybe the next thing I do. Also, you need a goood head job (thats what she said...)

What's wrong with you man??? Come on!! GET WITH THE PROGRAM YOU BUM!!!

hehehehehehe just kidding

Seriously, if I pour in $2,000 worth of mods and I am not gonna break the 7 sec mark 0-60, I am just gonna stop now before I waste anymore money and just buy something that will. 2gs is a down payment for something faster.

i broke the 0-60 7sec mark a few times, haven't taken it to the track yet. My rsm-gp is near perfectly tuned below 80mph so its pretty accurate, i haven't tunned it on a dyno to get me proper dyno readings, but guessing my weight i'm in the high 140's and dabble in the 150 sometimes.

i'm taking my car to the dyno to get my s-afc properly tuned, so i'll see how close my rsm is then smile.gif

The flywheel is the only thing I am still craving (aside from NOS) but for the cost, NOS is going in first.

But if you wanna get down to the 7.4-7.5 second range for cheap. Do a TRUE CAI and a 2.5* custom catback.

For under $400 US you lost a second of your 0-60 times.

not to hack the post, but the chevy 302 was made around 1968 to 1970
they built those engine to compete in certain class of racing (to meet the max displacement limit)they used steel crank with 3* stroke steel 5.7* con rods and 4* bores
advertise hp and torque was 290/290

Hey guys, I think that they were probably talking about a 305. Just got it confused with the 302 that everyone hears Ford guys talk so highly about. Probably not worth pointing out that mistake, I think everyone knows what they are talking about. Oh yeah, this is my first post, Hey everyone.

so if we want many hp we go turbo...

Why does the beta motor respond better to turbo applications and produce so many hp????

Can sb explain that with simple words????

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dopeskills:

The motor responds much better to turbocharging because of cylinder head design. The *trough* combustion chamber shape and the bad exhaust port design lend themselves to forced induction rather than normal aspiration.

Combine that with the fact that these motors turn into Hyundai Hand Grenades when revved above 7500, and you basically are stuck with something that needs to make horsepower very low on the RPM band.
