50hp shot or no?
ill soon be doing some major mods to my 305 this summer including heads, cam, intake and carb...would throwing a 50hp shot on this car be alright? with only a 50shot would i even need to retard the timing?

Of course you should! But beware, after you get a taste of the 50hp shot you're gonna want more
You don't have retard the timing for only 50hp, but I like to stay on the safe side and did just for peace of mind.

You should be fine with a 75 shot too.Just be careful with your timing and look for the warning signs and constantly check the plugs.

If you're thinking about a cam and getting serious with nitrous, you might want to consider the comp cams nitrous hp cams. They're really supposed to help and have a mean idle

a nitrous cam would be nice but remember, with speed density TBI system there are only a handful of cams to choose from that dont require custom chip tuning
