Hows this combination

I ordered a holley 650cfm DP and holley street dominator manifold for my 305 TBI. Also I just installed MSD-8361 pro-billet distributor, 6a ignition box, and blaster 2 coil. What kind of a difference am I gonna see? Power and mileage wise. With the TBI i've been getting 13mpg half street half highway.

Whoa, that's pretty poor mileage for any 305.

Should be getting around 20 MPG if tuned properly. That carb is a little big for a 305, but shouldn't hurt anything.

Yeah no kidding, and believe me I don't drive like half of the 17 year olds i know do. I respect my car, and I know how it runs. I am more of a cruiser myself anyway. I am hoping for better results with the 650, ive done a few little things to my car, mostly parts laying around the garage. Bigger rocker arms, under drive pulleys, and now total MSD setup which I haven't got to really test yet. It all works though, but with the TBI and computer not hooked up wasn't getting any fuel. So I dumped a little bit in and fired it up, was running fine till need more gas.

Re: Hows this combination

Can I use that same Holley Manifold with my TBI stock unit as long as I buy the adapter plate of course too. Let me know thanks.
