Some of the Iroc-z and Z28 didn't get the TPI. They had the TBI 305. Why could you get an Iroc 350 with T-tops, but the Formula 350 could not have T-tops. GM is stupid!!

Re: How fast is a 305 tpi?

You must be cutting a darn good 60" time, running NOS, and have a different cam at the very least. I just don't see any other way to make your "stock 305 TPI" run 13.4 in the quarter mile.
