That's lousy. But I don't know why you didn't check all that stuff out before you bought the car.

You might be able to return it if your that discouraged with it. You were mislead, and you should have that right. might want to check your local laws.

That is a bummer, but don't get too discouraged because it's a 305. If you can make it down to Tucson in November, let me show you what my 305 can do. Shall we go for a "ride"????

No, but it appears that everyone is leaning towards my idea -- to make it in Tucson and center it around the Super Chevy Show.

All I have to say is when you ride in Willie's Z, be prepaired to smile from ear to ear. His Iroc has to be one of the coolest and neatest rides around. That's all I'm gonna say.

schweet...cant wait to see what your 305 can do 
maybe it'll give me some inspiration to see what I can get out of the measely 305 instead of ditchin' it for something a lil bigger ...oh btw I have been in several 12second and faster cars but none have been s/c'd 305 irocs 
edit: I just looked at ******* web-page I am already smiling ear to ear

Although I'm flattered and very appreciative on the comments on my car, let's get this back to the original topic.
I will conclude this informal discussion on my car by saying that my best specs were from two years ago when I was making 14-psig boost. I just reinstalled my 305 a couple of weeks ago after major modifications. I'll also be replacing my D1SC with an F1, replacing the MAF with a 3-bar SD setup and I should be making on the order of 20 or more pounds of boost.. Hopefully, I'll be ready to rock at the Super Chevy Show in November. Wish me luck getting everything ready by then. It's gonna be tight with my work schedule.
