power?

Hi guys i have a 1993 f150 with a 302 SD engine i am putting in a 266H cam, a super chip, 1 inch throttle body spacer and a drop in K&N filter, and dual exhaust right after the second cat with the second cat gut out, what do u guys think? Do you think i will be making good power or do u guys suggest changing something? what i am looking at is putting in a couple hundred dollars in upgrades what do u think?

Can u guys please respond soon i want to get my motor back in A.S.A.P. Thanks

Well gutting the cat is illegal. The throttle body spacer is probably wasted if your using it on a fuel injected motor, i've known a couple guys that have dropped money on them and havne't seen any gains.

I've also heard nothing good about the throttle body spacers. MSD M6 and headers are my next power mods. Are there any chips that don't require 92 octane?

Install a good set of heads and roller rockers.
Thats one of the best mods i've done to my 302.
