Burnout time!
Keep it old school and put some BFG radial t/a's on it...

do you think you will be able to hear a lil noise from a street tire over the exhaust on that thing? id say mastercraft myself.. they are made in USA!Never ran anything Hankook personally. The BFG'S are out of the equation. I'm not paying $200+ /tire on this tank. The Cobras seem too soft, so I'm probably ruling those put. The Mastercraft had a lower speed rating, I think, and reviews seemed to say they were noisy. However, they all seemed to have relatively the same tread pattern.

im getting decent mileage out of many sets of the mxt tire by mastercraft.Of course not. Just stating a fact is all. Comparing apples to apples I guess.
I ran a set of Mastercraft years ago and got horrible mileage out of them, so was a little skeptical to buy another set. But maybe they've improved over the years?
Speaking of exhaust....I think I'm going to give your Super 44's a try.

wtf is up with that thing.. might need to call summit again..Got the new choke assembly put on earlier. Set straight up, it still won't open fully, which is still keeping it idled up too high. I rotated it from 12:00 to about 3:00 before it would let it open fully, but now it won't close the choke at all on a cold start. I don't know what's up with this damn thing. Weird for it to just all of a sudden act dumb. I need to rotate it back a little until it will at least activate on a cold start, but I'm tired and lazy and don't feel like ***'n with it anymore today.
Oh, and I now have an oil leak. I "think" it's around the oil drain plug, but hard to tell fully. Need to drain the oil and put on a new copper washer. Just did an oil change, so waiting until the next one is too long. Had a pretty good puddle under it while we were at the inlaws this afternoon...maybe 4" square.

thats good.. it is still a restriction having to flow around the butterfly though. im wondering now that if it isnt opening all the way if that is your mid range issue...It fires up now with one pump, no choke. Just doesn't want to idle until you keep it running for a minute or so. I just don't like pushing issues to the side. I don't need it now, but I don't want to be fooling with it later when I do need it.

For a "stock" 302 the formula is this size(302)X rpm (5,000)/ 3500= 431 cfm so a 450 BRL would be fine with room for headers and such.
Stock cam is not going to allow you to pull pst 5k anyways so why put a larger carb on than that? I've ran a 600 Holley on 289's and 302's for years. Never really paid much mind to it until I jumped into a buddys Mustang II with a strong 5.0 and properly set up 450 carb. Quite a difference imo.
I ditched my 600, got a vacuum secondary 450cfm carb and never looked back. My .02 cents fwiw.
(also, I've read this thread from end to end at an earlier time, and couldn't remember if you cammed the motor or not. this is in reference to a stock motor)
