Thanks!

So first i must buy bigger injectors.

If i buy 24 Lb/Hr 391hv injectors but my engine doesnt give that power, does it harm or cause power loss etc?

How about fuel pump or something else?

New bigger/"better" camshaft is not importat if i understand right?

Is there somebody who has tuned his 302efi ?

if your wanting some little increases in performance than advance the timing a few degrees. stock is 10 so go to like 13 or 14 degrees.thats all a chip will do. bigger fuel injectors only help when they're needed. insulate your stock air box and hoses and put in a k&n air filter or something like it.

gt40 heads will outflow stock heads by a long shot. bassani ypipe with shorty headers and a single or 2 high flow cats and straight through muffler will allow the engine to breath better.

if your serious about 300hp then you'll more than likely need boost with the 302.

Can you tell me what i need for 300hp? or is that too expensive and hard? And how much power comes with those things that you said?

Sounds like you can do much for yourself. How about another engine? Maybe a 5.4, but learn about spark plug problems first as you might have o tackle them sometime. My favorite would be a GM, a 472, but preferably a 500 inch Caddy. It's lighter and more HP n TQ than a 427 Rat. Maybe a GM 454, or 455? The Cad's a killer and you'll get great gas mileage too. A chainfall, garage, or big tree (shady preferred,) adapter plate and tools. A Big AND too...no putters...that's a plus for me.
I'm a 100% Ford man cept for a few GM's yrs from 23 to 73. Since 1957 I've had around 40 Fords. I drive 3 Fords now and have 4 spare Ford engines n 2 blowers. BUT, if I wanted some HP n TQ, I'd go very cheap wise w/a 500 Caddy. My two cents.
