Hey everyone, i have a 350 targetmaster engine with the stock heads and cam, with edelbrock performer eps and edelbrock performer 600cfm carb, and headers with hei of course and i was wondering what would be a good first thing to change to increase power. I hope to be able to use my intake and carb if possible but like suggestions, and i am on a budget unfortuantly.. would like a few tips or thoughts.. thanks.

 

put a cam and lifter set in or a set of 416 (good 305 heads) on and get a higher compression u can use the same intake and headers and carb(might have to set properly)those would b the first things i have 416 heads on my 350 plus some other fun stuff running 11:1 compression ratio and got it dyno'd at 446hp to the flywheel
.30 over ,mild cam(dont remember lift),dish pistons,416 ported and polished heads,qjet 750 cfm, eldlebrock performer intake,roller tip rockers,steel crank,e3 spark plugs,accel wires,hei with advance curve, headman shorty headers,so that combo gives you a basic idea that you dont have to do much to get a power upgrade just need a good combo

 

well idk if the 305 head i have are the good ones.. they are 53cc so i know the compression would be high and they also have the .190 intake valves..

 

also 446hp at flywheel do you know what you run in the 1/4 mile also.. what is your rpm redline? if you dont mind me asking.

 

havent run the 1/4 yet next season gettin to cold here snow soon and to see if they are 416 check the number in the head by the valve springs the last 3 numbers will be 416 lol and i don't have my tach hooked up yet but it sounds around 600-1000 in drive not to high nice muscle sound lol

 

600-1000?

 

rpm...its under 1500 in drive

 

He's asking what your REDLINE is. With 305 heads you will need some pretty impressive portwork to not run out of air after 4500 or so rpm.

Not saying it cant be done, just that it will take serious work.

 

sorry i thought i read whats my idle..and im not sure no tach but its prob around 4000-4500 and the guy that did my port work is amazing
