LOL,
Yes, early one some mistakes were made, who is perfect?.
So what?
It's takes time, and work to get everything worked out.
Wasted you time?, what a laugh, if you didn't work off of the work of others you wouldn't have had anything to post.

You can continue with all the snide remarks you want, that isn't going to change the truth.

At least your up to publicly acknowledging those that did enable you to start modifing things, since without being able to change the code, you couldn't have begun to do what your so proud of.

Have you worked?, yep, I never said you didn't.
I've just been keeping the story straight.

Obscure, in a way, when anything new first gets going there is at first only a kernel, and then it grows from there. Everything in life is that way. Yes, it's easy to look back in HINDSIGHT and say well this was wrong and this was wrong. Did I and others make mistakes, yep, sure did. Just like anyone learning to walk, along the way they stumble, and horror of horrors sometimes even fall.

Don't get you started?, how funny can you get?.



So your saying, to tune lean, and just automatically go flat out?. If you reread what I've stated, I say START RICH, and then lean down. As you get into the higher HP areans you'll see they are much less forgiving of going lean.

Sorry to hear that you've now gotten to the stage of not wanting to have any real dialog.

 

You need to reread what I wrote.
I've said NOTHING about your car.
Maybe the problem is the assumptions you're making.

 

One of the reasons you wont see to many modded 305's anymore is that 350s are cheap and plentiful. There is also the fact that, like myself, when others finally purchase their car, the 305 in it has already gone many miles so there is an immidiate incentive to replace the engine right there. I know when i got mine after several months of trying to make due with a 200K + 305 i pretty much realized that i was polishing a turd and id be better off with a 350.

Another issue not to be skirted over is the fact taht you have a manual, which really helps as far as losses are concerned. There is no TC or rotten gearspread to worry about. Put a 700-r4 with its less then stellar gearspread behind it and i bet youd find yourself slipping into the very low 14's.

As for the tbi being "mysterious", no, its not, and i never implied that it was. But, i havnt seen anyone yet take the time to really tune a 305 tbi car to get it to really perform. So... put the tbi back on already and go to the track!!! I want to see some good times through the tbi. I know you can probably do it.

Oh, Grumpy, those where 13 sec. cars that have been to the track

 

but we also don't get he off the line torque multiplication from the torque converter, and no human can shift as fast as a good automatic. alot of the chevelle guys say that switching froma 4speed to an 3speed auto is worth a full second in a big block chevelle.

 

id still take a good maual over a 700-R4. That torque multiplication combined with the 3.06 first gear along with lots of off ilde torque=no traction for me. and, there is second. I can hold second to almost 80 mph because the ratio is so damn high with the highway gears. Theres no doubt that a TH350 or a TH400 can pull good times but their a better peformance trans IMHO because one can run deep gears because of better gear spread.

 

speaking of the auto vs manual....
there was a gm highperformance mag from last year i have it at home. they tested 10 bolt on ls1's to see which one was fastest... the manual 6 spd took the cake it beat all the other autos.

 

89 TTA's have 305's?

 

yes i thought the turbo tas were 3.8 buick engines. of course im not all knowing like some others, but thats what i thought. if they had turbo 305s, thats somthing ive never seen or heard of...i dunno. btw, is there a difference between the TTA and GTA? i always thought they had the same power plant. im noy trying to argue, im just curious.

 

yes, the turbo TA's where 3.8L V6's. Im sensing a hint of sarcasm from iroc's response.

 

Yeah the sarcasm detector is definately picking up some . Anyhoo, I wanna see 12's damnit! Nice job Pablo, and don't let that newbie Grumpy deter you

 

grumpy's been here awhile, just doesnt post much on the tbi board.

 

I figured it would go to your head when you started turning some decent trap speeds, but this latest outburst is WAY over the top.

How do you even get in your car when your head is so inflated? We are talking Hindenburg inflated. And we all know what happened to the Hindenburg....

Get a grip on yourself.

 

this has to be a record. so many posts in so little time. JUST LOOK AT THE VIEWS>!

Nice...

Ive learned recently... if a ~2300 cc flat 4 vw can make 220 hp a 305 should be able to kick some **** eventually.

 

Yep, I'm a newbie.
Only 4,000+ posts.
I just don't post much on this board.

 

Try a 4" bore 3" stroke, 302, SBC, if you really want to make a hotrod 5L. The 4" bore reduces the valve shrouding a fair amount. And the short stroke makes for high RPM. I think a dual 2brl TBI 302 would be lots of fun.

 

No.
He was making the comment that 105 trap speeds were bascially the terriotory of non street cars. 105s with a 89 TTA are relatively easy. A 105 with a 305 would take alot more work then what a 105 would take with a 89 TTA was my point.

 

It looks like nobody caught my sarcasm . I know you've been here a while and I'm quite impressed with some of your work, I was just kidding.

 

brent,
this post has been up for months now so sorry you were behind with the "latest"


105 is nowhere near the realm of non street cars unless you drive some really slow street cars.

Let this post die allready.
