A 331 How Much Hp???
not necessarily the pump, i personally think your injectors are way too small
i would get at least a 30 or 36lb injector, nice thing is with the cnl meter you can just switch the tube's so you don't need a whole new meter

I know a few guys running the victor 5.0, I have one sittin on my garage floor needing a home since I decided to go carb again. They are all running a minimum of 42lb injectors a 75mm tb and MAF, 1.7 RR's and a 255 pump. A few are even running 50's with 80mm TB and MAF. I agree with Steve your a bit lean. You should be knocking on the 400rwhp door with an upgraded fuel system. And IMO ford motorsport cams are fucking garbage.... get in touch with either of the big cam guys (Comp, Crane, Lunati, etc.) and tell them what your doing and they can tell you what off the shelf cam to run or give you a custom grind. Don't skimp on the cam... if you do you will be where you are now. I was running an off the shelf cam in my old 393 and it only put 408 to the wheels.... called lunati and got a custom cam and put down 500 to the wheels... it was stupid how much of a difference it made.

Still, it is a 302 with 1/4 inch stroke and ported TW heads. I do think a custom cam will wake the motor up.

So no tune yet, was it on a mustang or dynojet? Don't get all caught up in dyno numbers. Take it to the track and see what mph it runs.
