spend about $8000 and do tons of research if you want to do it n/a, or, put a nitrous kit on it and spray till she blows.

those numbers were achieved with a 750 cfm double pumper, open headers and no accessories on the front of the motor. and it's not a 305...

what is the goal here? easy, fast combination or wanting to learn how things work and what makes things go fast?

Ive looked into them....pretty sweet deal really w/ a 2 yr warranty and the TPI can go on it without voiding the warranty.....I thought of a blueprint 355 w/spray in a Triumph TR6......

Nitrous is the cheapest way to use a POWER ADDER on your car. Here in the POWER ADDERS forum, there are lots of people who can answer your Nitrous related questions.

You're in the wrong forum. Power Adders are nitrous, superchargers, and turbochargers. If you want to stay with regular air, you need to search in the TPI forum.

Spending $3000 on a 305 engine is a waste.

Dude, I have a 305, it pulls like no other I spent about $3000 to turbo it w/ many supporting mods. I'll get some dyno number soon...but I bet Im close to 325rwhp...with a 305.

Maybe they should change the section title from "power adder" to keep the riff-raff out. Then again, I'd better be quiet they did let me in.
