305 H.O. ???

I have a chance to buy a 89 Camaro RS with a "305 HO". How much more power does the HO have than the normal 305? Did a 89 RS ever come with the 305 HO? Do they have TPI or TBI? Do they have a lot of get up and go to them?

There wasn't a 305 "H.O." in 1989. The name was only used for the L69, which ended in 85 or 86.

Yup, somebody is trying to do the "buzzword" thing on you....

It'll be TBI. In stock form especially, it's lame.

Ok thanks. I also didn't think that they made an H.O. in '89.
