Ive spent money, time, effort, and many headaches to get the 305 in top shape. I've added so many mods that i can think of(i know theres plenty more to go)but i always wanted a 305 TPI and make it into a beast. I've always wanted to run naturally aspirated but dont believe its possible with the $80,000.00 or more imports or domestic vehicles. The motor itself should be in at about a week or two till i find a new engine harness for the 305 TPI(someone stole it) and havent even started it up yet. What do u think about it. Is my car gonna be a hunter or the hunted? any comments or suggestions welcome.

Whoa, should be a contender. I know willie is seeing high 12's(?) and he's running a SC/305. If you can hook up, that's put yopu in the territory of most C5's and R/T10's.

If you dont take this thing to the track soon and come back with some #'s I wont be happy. I've seen no less than 3 posts asking possible times for your car.

Hey vortecfcar u dont even know the half of it. Im so pissed off that my car isnt running right now,im just pissed. Believe me u will see my 1/4 times sometime soon. If this car does not run at least 13's im throwing it away and im getting a mustang(did i just say that)My friend(owns a mustang)always makes fun of me saying im never gonna get it to the street, that im probably gonna run 15's and that pisses me off more. But im cooled down. We will all see when i take the camaro to the track. thanks for encouraging me that i might have a fast car, damn cant wait. Oh yeah any donations to the 92' camaro fund email me.

I'm guessing your cars gonna be a little quicker than 13's, it sounds like it should be pretty quick, how about a little nitrous to get it into 12's? just a suggestion, but l think it should be pretty quick with the mods you've got on it, good luck, and don't even think about going to stangs

vortech305

hell no i was just joking, i love my camaro and its gonna be buried with me when i die. I want to run nitrous but i doubt the T-5 will hold up. As of now im sort of on a budget. Im a little scared of nitrous explosions and miss fires and all that crap. I dont know maybe its just me wanting to run naturally aspirated. This year my goal is to run at least high 12's with a naturally aspirated 305. We'll just have to see. Cross your fingers guys.

mike89z

what kind of cam do you have in your car? high 12's for a naturally aspirated 305 is extremely difficult. without the charger I'd say your time would probably be high to mid 13's if you have a somewhat decent cam and get a good launch.

hey qwktrip are u 100% sure ill be doing mid 14's cause ive been told i should be doing mid to low 13's with good traction and great shifting. After all the money and time i put into this camaro it better run 13's.

Killer-Z

You'll definitely run faster than low to mid 14's. I ran a 14.874 @94.55 mph(60' of 2.283) with only a slp cat-back on my 91-z 5-speed tpi. I hope for mid to high 13's with the new chip, ripper shifter, and slp headers(1 5/8).

[QUOTE]Originally posted by QwkTrip:
[B] A chip and headers (shifter won't actually improve time but it makes life a whole lot easier) is not going to reduce your time that much. You'll run about 14.3. It will take a gear swap to break into 13s.]

I agree with the shifter comment but if you figure that you think i'll be at 14.3 that is a .5-.6 tenth diff. from what I had. I'm basing high 13's off the fact that my poor 60' should be around a 2.0 give or take a tenth(probley give). So if i coulda ran a 14.5 -.5 then HIGH 13'S. I'm already running 3.42 which are the best overall gear for a street tpi car, 3.73's which are better for the strip. Oh also I've now got cheater slicks. Hopeing for 13.70-13.89. I'll keep you guys posted. I've got a dual-stage nitrous express kit and msd coming too and englishtown swap is coming soon (intake and runners hopefully).

vortec your a skeptic too???

vortech305

I am a skeptic especially if its a positive outcome. I know i've been writing to many crap like "how much hp do i have" "what do u think my 1/4 are gonna be" or some other of my stupid questions but people think i do this on purpose. See, here in NY there arent to many thirdgen. owners. And thats why i rely on u guys for suggestions, and helpful hints. Have been given to much grief from the mustang and import owners so u can see where im coming from. BY the way ill post my 1/4 times as soon as i get to the track

oh yeah my compression ration is about 9:6:1 was really in the 10:2:1 area but since my machinest ported the combustion chamber went down to 9:6:1. I know that aint gonna help the blower thats why im guessing i should go with the nitrous set up.

Yeah right! Don't get your hopes up on running 12's on a 305. I know that every one wants a lot of speed with no price (thats not really the case here). I guess it's possible but why bother when you could just go that much faster with a 350. Those things are a dime a dozen. All I'm sayin is that an weenie (long stroke, short duration) engine like a 305 was not designed for horsepower. Sorry, but the facts are the facts. Hey, ive got a 305 so im in the same boat. Best of luck but dont plan on 12's at all plus I didn't see any thing about gears in there so you won't be able to wind up that engine with a big cam so you would just sputter and bog until you got to a decent speed. Your lookin' at low 14's IF YOUR LUCKY. I mean these 305's get 16's and 17's from the factory so what do you expect. You can't make somthing out of nothing.

The only reason I'm going with nos is because i don't want alot of power always (inclement weather, more wear on drivetrain) so im going for nos. I just want power when I need it. Plus think of it this way, I don't know what cars are like where you live but a 13 sec. car on the street here would lose few races (random races) unless you went out to the hot spots where racers gather.

I wish i has the procharger sitting around. By the way im going with the NOS setup. I know i know dont bother but nitrous is the best bet for me as this time. I mean ill run 150 to 200 shot of nitrous on weekends. Wont even need a trailer . However by next week i plan on getting an 87' IROC-Z from the junkyard for $250.00 without motor or tranny. Me and my brother have been planning to run a 406 motor for about 2 years so what we plan on doing is getting a 406 adding Brodix stage II heads,lingenfelter cam, some porting compression in the 8:5:1 and run 12 or maybe in the 18Psi with a procharger or vortech. I just cant wait to prove some of the people wrong when i see low 13's in the dial in.
