That same G92 laid a beating on an LT1 4th gen, and lost by 2 lengths to an LS1 SS. Plus it's a got a full exhaust, UDP's, CAI, Descreened MAF, advanced timing, and suspension work. His speedometer doesn't work either, which makes his 3.23 gear claim questionable.

Dad also had....still has a 85 iron. We ran into a few fox 5br0s. They were good runs but they would lose.

I will concede that the 302 can be as good as a 305 once you get as many ford made parts off it as possible

302 and 305 are damned near identical engines, stock or modified. Fox won because Ford actually gave a **** about the performance, while GM was busy protecting the Corvette.
