> [@Mike93](#): > > If I were to be in your shoes and was looking for a H/C/I combo I can’t stress enough an AFR 165 with an Ed Curtis custom grind cam from FTI, and pretty much any aftermarket intake (with exception to the Cobra and GT40). A couple of my friends were some of the first customers Ed Curtis ground cams for, and in there street trimmed foxes ran 11.7’s @ 117mph with the bolt-on combo mentioned above (back in 2001 or so). > > FWIW…both these guys had been using an Edelbrock 6037/E303 combo that were running a best of 12.3 @ 109mph:) +1 for Ed, I’m running one of his LS1 cams it runs pretty good:) But see what JT says, his shit runs good too. also down for this year fun 🙂 ---

If you want to do a nice N/A 302 go with a trickflow stage 1 cam (or stage 2 if you want but you might need to flycut your pistons for that) a GT-40 style intake(they make great torque, and I nice set of aluminum heads. I got my Eddys bec they were cheap. I you can I would splurg for AFR 185cc or Trickflows, I know I will be putting Trickflows on my big build. my car dynoed 301rwhp 364rwtq on a Mustang Dyno with the Trickflow stage one cam, Turbular GT-40 upper and lower intake, and Edelbrock Performer 5.0 170cc heads with 1.90" intake valves and full exhuast… The car ran a best 13.1 in the 1/4 taking it easy on the stock t-5. A fox with my set up can hit easy high 12s. Let me know if you have any more 5.0 questions. ---

> [@jt76](#): > > roll racing breaks less shit :tup:… also gives a gauge as to who has the “faster” car… takes a lot of the variables out of the equation and leaves out most of the excuses. I’ll agree on the breaking less parts stuff, but not on the excuses part at all. Often times people set up these roll races and they have to run 2, 3, 4 times or whatever because so-and-so left early, missed 3rd, couldn’t hear the beep, whatever. The dragstrip eliminates that, plus you don’t have to have the other guy there that day (although it helps, and makes it more interesting). The timeslip doesn’t lie, numbers are numbers. ---

Boost and nitrous can make any head fast…dollar for dollar the AFR’s and Trick Flow’s are about as good as you can get out of the box for NA cars (again, is the OP’s car NA?), and can be had for pretty damn cheap nowadays. ---

^Jesse, nice 1/8th! I’d love to see what your car pulls in the 1/4:) Just for the hell of it, here’s a friend of mine with his coupe: It’s pretty aggressive, and he’s still tweaking the suspension here and there, but so far his best run has been a 10.9 @ 122mph. The combo is simple from a parts standpoint, but very well thought out: 306 TW heads Anderson cam…think it’s an N41 RPM intake stock cpu with an rpm extender G-force T5 ~3150 race weight Gears, exhaust, etc. Point is, NA 5 liters can move out. Like I said, his car is pretty aggressive, but tamed down mid/high 11’s are pretty easy to get with a good combo…good compression and the right cam seem to be the deal breakers on these cars so make such whatever head you pick up you don’t skimp on a cam that works best with it. ---

> [@Mike93](#): > > ^Jesse, nice 1/8th! I’d love to see what your car pulls in the 1/4:) Thanks. I know people are gonna say its cause of the stroker motor, but last year’s setup was exactly the same except for the stroker motor and that 308 motor did 7.5 @ 98 mph… With edelbrock heads. The year before that, the motor was a 306 with a different cam, same heads and that motor went 7.69 @ 94 mph.
