how much can I push through these factory manifolds on this 302? Right now I’m at a 100 shot and it performs flaulisly. I would love to go too a 125 but I’m unsure with these crappy manifolds on this 302

I saw a post on here that these manifolds are only good for around 350 hp. Not sure how accurate that is
 






First off, we try to keep this forum family friendly, so please watch what you type.

Second, are you talking intake manifold? The Explorer intake is usually preferred over all other 5.0 intakes due to the longer runners, but it is not designed for high horsepower applications. I have no idea on the long term use of nitrous with the cast manifold.
 






Head up to 125
What you have heard about the manifolds (Probably exhaust) is N/A. Nothing to do with the road you have chosen.

The issues could be block splitting and drive train breakage, but you are no where near that yet. Let er rip!
 






What nitrous kit are you running?
