Andy,

Will post 302 dyno sheet data when I get home. I am out of town now on a Camaro inspection trip. I do remember that the 302 in my 67 Z28 did pull strong numbers up to 8000 or 8200rpm. Torque was in the low 300 range but I'll get the data for you. One thing that I have learned over the past 10-15 years is changing the lobe center on these engines makes a big difference in hp. Remember, in Stock Eliminator we have a glass ceiling and that's why you tweek everything that you can. After many years of research, it pays off. That is why we have built a big following for engine rebuilding and restoration. All of our customer base who we have done engines for have a big smile on their face!

I'll also post the dyno sheet on another 396-375 hp L78 engine that I just finished last week. All stock including a 3863143 camshaft with my little tricks paid off on this one too. Made 446 peak hp at like 6100 rpm. More than many get out of an L72 engine. And this was done on Bub's dyno which is on the conservative side.

More later,

Jerry

Thanks for the info. I look foward to seeing the sheets. I was considering a 302 build for my 67 Camaro, because I love high winding small blocks, but I decided on a 406 because I like torque an the ability to fry the tires from a roll too. My motor ended up making 505 hp and 506 ft lbs @ 5200/5300 respectively with a hydrualic flat tappet and a set of 195 AFRs.
