Untill I get another engine thats bigger. Any quick fix ideas for power¿

------------------
89 Formula Firebird
Red with T-tops
5.0 305 FI
Soon to be a 400sb or 350.

 

i would do things that can be swapped over to a new engine, like roller rockers, headers, mabey a cam, stuff like that.

 

I have some heads but I dont think they will work on a 305.
>intake Valve=2"
>exhaust Valve=1 & a half"
>tripple valve springs

Looks like there's a lot of misunderstanding around here as to what a power adder actually is.


Well...
If you come to the Power Adder Board and post that question, then someone has to post a power adder answer and say...

<h1>NITROUS OXIDE</h1>

Might as well be me.

IROCKZ4me is right. As I have been told many times before, "the bottle and nothing but the bottle" I have considered NO2 before but I would say don't do it unless you are prepared to pay to have the bottle refilled, I have heard that can be pretty expensive. I plan on it eventually but not until I make other mods first, I would do it though if I were you, you can put it on your new car. Good luck man.

 

Bottle refills are pretty cheap ~$20-$25. $3 a lb. I guess if you drive around all the time with the bottle opened and you're trigger happy it could get expensive,but I see about 100-150 refills before the price gets close to that of a supercharger.(I understand why you would want a supercharger, since I want one myself, always have the power)

I'd worry about the rest of the drivetrain handling it. I am pissed that my clutch couldn't handle a measly 60hp shot. I figure that only puts me into the high 280-300hp range and my stock replacement clutch only a yr old and less than 15,000 miles said "NO". I'll try it out again this weekend just to make sure...

I'm sure you realize that any supercharger you'd get would easily transfer to any other small block you decide to throw in...
