I would have to see a pic to help determine.

I do have a question, what have you done to that 305tbi to put down those kind of numbers?

Just asking, cause they seem more like L98 numbers.

Another wrecked camaro

My brother 88' Camaro was run into at his school's parking lot probably close to the same damage if not more. They told us about 1200 dollars to fix it (no Paint)

if it makes you feel any better my car got hit by a tree a couple months ago, i swear i was just driving along and then BANG out of no where a tree. Anyways instead of us guessing id say go somewhere and have them give you a quote (maybe you can get the replacement pieces from a junk yard? i didnt really understand what you had damaged) and then come back and tell us what it was quoted at and well let ya know if its a reasonable price or not

There is no reason to say something stupid like that. I was only asking an honest question.

Lets try not to turn this into a flame war.

And i was joking cant take it too bad. Truth is their are alot of people who do very little to their cars and think it adds tons of hp, like a guy i know, he thinks his cheap summit $79 headders adds 100 hp to his 305, his k&n adds 30 hp, and the mobil 1 adds 20 hp (all acording to him) so now HE THINKS HE HAS A 400 Hp 305 with no internal work at all! I have no clue what this guy in question on this thread has done to his car i was making a simple joke, maybe if people like you would get a sence of humor flame wars wouldnt start.

I dunno guys, its been what, three days since he started the thread? and look he posts his mods, [-10x3 K&N Filter] [-Flowmaster 3" American Thunder Catback] [-Hedmen Shorty 1-5/8" primary, 3" -collectors] [-Hedmen 2-1/2" Y-pipe] [-Custom Welded 3" pipe and 14" (3"in/out) Catco cat] [A.I.R. Delete] [ACDelco 100amp Altenator] <~~~~ All this crap wont get a 305 to those numbers. If there was internal work dont wouldnt you think it would be included? I smell . The funny thing is some people dont they're numbers on purpose. They read some crap mag that says headders add so and so hp and this Can add so and so hp . And they assume that they're car now has through the roof hp and tq. Click on the pic and look at the car domain site, a picture says a thousand words..............

Holy smokes, a k&n, headers, and a catback add 75+ or so hp and a bucket of torque to an L03? I had no idea they were that restricted!
