I have an 85 ta and would like to start some mods. I would like to know what is the best intake manifold,carb& cam for my 305 TBI?

Thanks
Jeff

 

get an edelbrock performer intake with a holley TBI unit. a comp 262 gring or something simalar would be a good cam for you 305. some headers and new 3inch exhuast. some under drive pullies. a K&N air cleaner and a good tune up, and you would have a pretty smokin 305, oh and some better gears out back would probley help, ie. 3.42s.
have fun

Curent: 350,performer RPM intake ,650dp, 700r4, headers, 3inch exhast
Spring 01: 406, Comp 282 solid cam, 2400 stall converter, every thing else the same.

 

yeah, i would agree with Gold85 about the edlebrock performer, as i have it on mine and am quite satisfied. You could go either TBI or get a non-cc carb and just modifiy that for some real performance gains. With either setup you should run an open-element aircleaner (drop base to clear the hood) Good luck

Thanks Guys! I have the K&N air filter already. I will order cam kit w/lifters, intake,cap&rotor and 8.5 wires tonight.

Thanks guys

Consider a Weiand Action + manifold instead of the Performer. An EGR version is available, and the RPM range is slightly higher than the Performer.

 

You can't just bolt a TBI unit on top of teh Performer (or any carb manifold). You will need some type of adapter plate to sandwich in-between. I am sure others on the board could help you as I have heard about it being done several times.
