302 question

Boost is just a measure of restriction and means nothing really. Figure 500hp on a 302 block is going to be the limit. How ever much boost it takes to get you around that is where I would stop (if you want it to live).

Re: 302 question
stock 302 block with factory forged pistons (pre 94+) with nothing done to it will take 14-15lbs or more. but the guy above is right 500HP is the limit once you are around 450+WHP its a waiting game.

ITS HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT A STOCK BOTTOM END 302 HAS MADE 815RWP WITH A 76MM TURBO,IT STAYED TOGETHER FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE IT POPPED...

Re: 302 question
yea but how much did he run it and how long was it hurt before it let go ?
internet is full of pictures of guys who took perfectly good running 302's apart to find the block split or a main saddle broken out of the block
buddy had a nitous 302 in the 9's that we wanted to step up and just change pistons , imagine our surprise when we pulled off the timing cover and bell housing and found the block split in half , ran fine though
johns right , after 500 hp its just a waiting game
