It's been my experience that inside the car vids usually do no justice. You cant get the feel of power that way like you can if you were really in the car. I suggest find someone with a 350'd car and bum a ride...

Hey ur in Michigan too? Cool, where from?

As for acceleration from a 350. What kind of 350 are u building here? Cause 350's can have a wide variety of speed, just depends on what you have on them (heads,cam,intake,etc...).

not to be an *** or anything but i have found that my camaro with the bored 305 is walking most the 350 camaros around here if my clutch would hold up(stock slipping clutch but it holds at the track for some reason)...but if you do go with the 350 try going 5-peed because i have found it to be an advantage with my car

There's a slight problem finding a car with that combo. He'll have to swap in a T5 since no 350 from the factory was mated to a manual. An auto with a little higher stall would be good.

I'm in Northwest Detroit. I'm looking to build a reliable 320-350 rwhp carbed engine. My 305 still runs pretty damn good with 290k on the engine.
