hey i was told that an lt1 cam will be an awersome mod for my stock 305 tbi?i wanted your advice on this swap of cam also will it run with changing the headers or the airfilter?because im puttin an open air element tommorow 14x3 with the right k&n filter.give me some advice about the lt1 cam and what diffrence will i be seeing

 

it is a very common mod, and lots of poeple have alot success with it, but when you start changing componets like heads/cam ect, you will NEED to get into PROM burning.

 

SEARCH

"LT1 Cam install"

That'll probably give you about 20 or so posts on that exact question.

 

I HAVE ONE... WOW... you will need a custom chip, and should look into other upgrades.. heads/headers especially/ and if you wanna keep up with the power,,, DEFINITLY the TBI mods, and intake...
It makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE

 

i just installed a holley by 14x3 air filter yesterday but i use a mr gasket buttom plat still not the right one but it worked because i was tol the edelbrock is the perfect one correct?but anyway the way the engine sounds and it new power was incredible

 

I put a LT4 cam on my car and didn't need prom tuning.

 

if i just put headers on it and the air filter will i need a chip?if yes were can i get a custom chip?

 

so u have the lt4 cam and everything else on and never got a custom chip?what do you run the 1/4 mile?

 

TBIChips.com

I didn't need one. I am running a 350 chip due to the fact I have a 350.

I dont really have times, but when I street raced some kid on a backroad that was marked for 1/4 mile, I did cross the line at about 100.

I'm figureing that to about a 13.9-14.2 range.

 

vwdave were in florida do u live? i live in miami to see if u close to help me out and see each others car

 

I guess you missed my other post. I seen you on SFFBA. I also noticed something happened to you there.....

Live in Key Largo and work/hang out in Cutler Ridge.

 

cool i live in hialeah but when i get my car rigester will meat up to help each other out my name is alex.oh about sffba i posted thing to many times in the wrong places

 

i wanna try to run a 14.0-14.4 on my 305 tbi is it possible because for now i cant buy a new engine later on i will put a big block

 

A big block is alot of work to do. Not only that, if thats your DD, you stand a good chance of killing youself. IIRC, your 16. You dont have the driving experience to handle that kinda power.

Another one of the low-14 second 305 arguements.

In all honestly, goto TACreationsUSA.com and get a L98 motor from them and install it. While your there, put some headers in (your there anyway right?) remove your smog pump, put the cam in while the motor is out and you WILL hit those times.

 

ok that will be an easy way to get those times i dont have 800 dollars to get that engine also i wanna the 305 tbi to run it not the 350 to impress friends and other ***** kids that say my car is slow i was like let me finsh my 305 then we will talk

 

I dont THINK your gonna hit low 14's with a 305 and under $800.

Also, with a 350, the extra torque will let you get sideways no matter what gearing you have. Right now I have a 2.73 Posi rear in my car and I can get it sideways ATM.

That impresses people alot.

 

the same a stock posi 2.73 .hey you know anyone interested buying a 89 15x7 wheels in white of my car they are the five spokes in white?im selling them for 200 obo with tires and everything

 

Lemme ask my friend. We usually buy cheap wheels/tires to do burnouts with. Why smoke up my 265's?

Also, the RS's didn't come with Posi's. They were open. How the hell my friend managed to get a 2.73 posi, I dont know, I do know its there.

(I checked the gearing and the posi has almost no slip, it might even be a locker, I'll know soon.)

 

well then i guess they installed it but its a posu alright on a 89 camaro rs.im gonna lift up today and check if its one for sure i let u know.also yeah ask ur freind they are great wheels need to be clean up and the tires are good still .i ahve 2 sets but i dont know if he want bothset for 400 dollard ask him or i will trader them for a set of welds draglite or cragar smae design ok thanks

 

Damn, we dont need that many. LOL.

Ebay perhaps?

 

i had them on ebay but no results so i have to leave i get back on at 5 pm see u later

 

NO, you can probably change everything on the engine except the cam or heads, and be fine with the stock chip and manual timing advance(turning dist.).

The car will run with a very mild cam(LT1, LT4, L98), and timing set at ~8-12* with the stock chip, but it won't run very well IMO.

What I mean by "not very well" is that the car will have no low-end power or throttle response, will idle pig rich, horribly. And could probably gain .3-.5 sec and 1-3 mph in the 1/4 by getting a custom chip that is tuned right.

As for getting a 14.0-14.4 out of a 305 TBI? I've already done it. See sig. It would be pretty impressive to do it for $800. Think a lot of used parts.

 

Like someone else said, when mentioning your sig, please post it too.

That also might be why my car gets such bad mileage.

 

Exactly what will happen. You'll make no power under 3000 rpm and you'll get 9-10 mpg.

 

miacamaro305, man i can't understand a word you are trying to say, lol.
