I agree with Ed, unless you start making significant changes to the engine, what you see is what you will get.

A 1991 Ford 302 while a great engine, was not known for making goobs of hp. OEM was about 235 HP provided it was properly tuned. In addition, the engine was designed to make maximun hp up to 4500 rpms.

I agree open the plugs up a little to .044 but only if you are using a MSD box. I guess you are at .030.

Good luck.
