305tbi Engine Swap HELP

Hey everybody I plan on swapping my 305tbi out my 92 rs camaro.

Im looking to get atleast 300+ Hp. What is the best and easiest route to go?

What engine can produce that hp? Will swapping to a 350tbi/355?tbi/383tbi be the easiest or will going carb be the easiest?

If you done a 305tbi swap for a bigger engine please give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Re: 305tbi Engine Swap HELP

Depends on what you consider easy really.
Some people really like fuel injection, since they can tune while driving with a computer.
Some swear by carbs.
keeping it TBI the way it is will be easier in the sense that you don't have to worry about swapping anything.
Changing to carb would be easy in the sense that getting the tune initially dialed in will be simple as turning screws.
Getting both tuned to run well is somewhat difficult. It takes work and tons of research.
