Headers (Edelbrock) and 3.73 gear (Motive) w/ eaton limited slip were installed!
It made a HUGE difference!!!!
With the upgrades I have done already this is the icing on the cake.
My past mods were;
Eibach lower springs
Spohn front and rear sway bar
Spohn LCA
Spohn panhard rod
Poly bushings from front to back
3" no cat exaust w/flowmaster
Rebuilt 700r4 with all the goodies
160 thermostat w/cool fan switch

The motor is bone stock (305 tbi) and I gotta tell you it is very impressive for what it is.
I reccomend to all 305 TBI owners to do the upgrades listed above before any engine work.
The 3.73 is awesome, 0-60 is super quick.
On the interstate going 65 mph rpm's are at 2300 and getting to 100mph is like 2nd nature

 

Nicely done Raider. It's nice to hear some stock motor news (because that's where I'm at)...now for the EBL! BTW, what was your original gear ratio?

 

EBL ?
Elaborate....

2.73 was the old one

 

Raider,

What was the RPM at 65 with the 2.73 gears?

 

Around 1300 I think.

 

I forgot to mention, wtf can I do about my speedo gear?

 

Everytime I want to go with 3.42 posi, somebody gives me second thoughts with 3.73's. Please somebody with experienced track times or something pick the better for me.

 

Off topic, hey bro I grew up in Waldorf, Carrington hood.

 

Damn man, grew up there too and now live in pinefield, this place sucks now, thank god you got out of here lol.

 

You should be able to get it changed out at any speedometer or quality tranny shop.

 

how about a price break down on those mods. It be nice to know roughly how much coin I need to put up.

I'm out of waldorf to. active duty out of andrews afb, but currently over seas.

 

headers $400
flowmaster $80
3" pipe varies from shop to shop
3.73 gear $180
eaton limited slip unit $480
built trans $1700
all the suspension parts about $650

 

Is there a 1/4 mile track up there somewhere?

 

Budds Creek ^^

 

That's near Waldorf, MD?

 

No, it's about a 1 hour drive.

 

Just change your speedometer gears, 84-85 camaros with 4 cylinders had 3.73's and so did the 1984 ho z-28. so just spend the 11 dallars at the dealer.

 

Can anyone confirm this for me? No offense bro but it's hard to take advice from someone who cant spell 'dollars' and i'm no spelling bee wizard.
My speedo is off 20 mph.........

 

Any transmission shop should be able to do this for you for about $50. It would be even better if you had a speedometer specialist shop in the area to confirm the speed.

 

I can get to Budds creek in 30 to 40 mins from Waldorf.......one of the best tracks in the US if I must say.

 

Raiderfan, sorry so long to reply. The EBL is the EmBedded Locker deal Rbob's been working on and now has available. For more info here's his website: DynamicEFI
You can pm Rbob for pricing.

 

Whoops, I spoke too soon. He has updated his site with a link at the bottom of the page for pricing.

 

Raider fan,

I did the same mod to my car but went with the 3.42's. I also had the electronic correction device installed. I would never do that again. I wish I had gone with the speedo gear change. Anyway, you need to replace the driven and drive gear. With the 3.42 it was a 15 tooth grey and a 41 tooth yellow. I'm not sure what it will be with the 3.73's.

Do a search on the tranny board. I think Trickster had a post about which speedo gears to get with the different rear ends. It's a very old post though.
