Re: TPI or LS1???

Thanks guys. I said ~280whp because a buddy of mine has a third gen that makes about that much power, and it feels like a good balance for the street with good fuel economy. Do you know anywhere to...

Re: TPI or LS1???

Also, I am familiar with the LT1, but for the time and money, I see no reason to go with that, I'd rather just put the LS in there.

Re: Good budget 305?

I am still looking for 059s, busy I found a set of 113s freshly machined and assembled for $500. Are these a good option? They are direct bolt ons, which is nice, and my compression will still be...

Re: Good budget 305?

Will the heads still need milling if I get 059 castings? aren't they meant for a 305? And the 90-100# is installed seat pressure, correct?

Re: Good budget 305?

The tires are also fairly new, and about the heads, they come in 64cc as well which could go on a 350, I just don't think I'd want them on a 305, 64cc are the same price

Re: Good budget 305?

Actually that is the price for an assembled pair, not an individual head. Also I have done a good amount of suspension work already (shocks, rear springs, z28 rear sway bar, new bushings, spohn sfc,...

Re: Good budget 305?

Also, if I were to swap out the cam, whats a good cam for a 305 if I'm looking for approx. 325hp but don't want to lose any bottom end. The mystery towing cam pulls really well from idle.
