How do you know what has been done to these new motors. If you and Andrew believe everything I say about these motors you are both fools.
Jimmy’s combo and mine have good race pistons and rings just like your combo. Good stocker cams from comp cams, countless hours on a dyno with The BEST tuner in the county, Good race springs, professional race prepped transmissions and some of the best race parts money can buy.
Where do you get you info that these motors have ZERO drag racing development done. Truth be told this combo has more race development in it then your car will ever have.

Andrew your combo is soft.

325hp vs 325hp
350ci vs 302ci
acid ported head vs NON cic ported heads
acid ported intake vs stock plastic intake

But so is the 302 CJ

You forgot
2 valves vs. 4 valves
heads from 1970 vs. new 2012 aluminum heads
11:1 compression vs. 12.5:1
pushrod motor vs. dual overhead cams
I guarantee that stock plastic intake and throttle body flows more air than my old Holly carburetor and 40 year old intake.

Also, how the hell do you know what's been done to my heads and intake?

You think that your motor or the 302 has had more done to it than mine? Go give one to Parsons and Myers and we will see how much horsepower it can make. I bet it's a hell of a lot more than it's making now.

With the rate Ronzello was gaining on my by the 1/8th, I figured it was probably going to go 127 mph or so. With a good converter alone (Jimmy said it needed one), I would have been toast.

Even if the motor in the 5.0 CJ is more similar to the GT than the Boss (plus 1.5 more points of compression of course), it's rated 87 hp less!
