Re: Need some help/tips on 305 Tpi
alot of people are going to say this and i will be one of them but why build up a 305 when you could beuild a 350 for alot cheaper. I am building one right now and so far i am in the whole about 250 bucks. That is the 250 dollars 1990 corvette 5.7l block some free heads and thats just to start. would be alot easier and alot cheaper in the end

Iam not like most people....My opinion is that everyone has a built 350 but hardly anyone has a built 305...My car isnt going to be a drag car or anything like that i just want a engine that has alittle more power than a stock 305. this car is mainly going to be a weekend car or for long highway trips.

Im with burnout on this. If you're not looking for huge power, there's alot you can do with the 305.

Re: Need some help/tips on 305 Tpi
Injector size depends on expected power output. I don't remember the equation but you can find it on TPIS's website. You will need to have some idea of expected HP. Injector output is also affected by pressure. Once you arrive at a lb/hr nozzle size, you can adjust actual output by tweaking pressure. Of course if you make many changes in the motor, you'll want to retune the ECM.

Re: Need some help/tips on 305 Tpi
it would be a good idea to change them being if you are in there already then put new ones in when you upgrade things
