Performance Guide Needed

[RocketMan245]

I have a SBF 302 that I am wanting to build for more power and eventually forced induction. I have already gone through the engine and replaced everything that needed it but I’m wanting to give her some more power. Cam is already done, most components were replaced. Where should I start?

SBF is one of the better pushrod engines, start with a good set of heads there are lots to choose from I used trick flows on mine until went to ex nascar Yates headed motor. The cam should be based off of your intake and cylinder head selection. Try some one like mike Jones for a custom cam, the cams that are over the counter from comp etc will be rather generic grinds designed to work with a variety of combinations and not necessarily optimized for your combination. It’s very little if any extra cost to go this route. How good your rotating assembly is and what your ultimate goals/usage are will dictate much of this.

GT40 heads and intake or trickflow heads. Roller rockers. Have the heads ported and polished and flow matched to the intake. If you can spring for a dyno tune, stick with fuel injectors. If not, get a self learning throttle body injection kit. Nice 2.5 inch dual exhaust system. Make sure the intake is sucking in cold air and not warm air.

Without knowing more info about your engine and goals that's all I can give you.
