I'm not sure if the "86" came with a governor but if it did than its like 110mph .Other than that it has a lot to do with rear gear ratio (maxing out) and tires and there condition/ rating.

Re: top speed for 305 tbi
Your speedometer stops at 85mph, what makes you think you we're doing 120mph? I think GP's are governed as well, I don't know to what speed. GM governs most everything pretty low, except for the obvious, ie ZR1 etc. I don't know for sure even for our cars. Someone here knows or has posted it in the past. A search should turn something up. And you say you have a stock TBI 86 camaro? Sorry, they didn't come that way yet...still carb'd. Or tuned port. If yours is that way someone changed it.

Re: top speed for 305 tbi
Mine is tuned port..didn't mean throttle body...well, we were flying past cars and the speed limit was 75.. so I know we has to atleast be doing over 120..I use to own a r6..I know what it feels like to go that fast...I found my answer, top speed is 145 mph.

Re: top speed for 305 tbi
What I said about tires stands true. They better be decent or you will find yourself in the rail or worse into someone else.
Re: top speed for 305 tbi
120, racing in slower traffic? You are an idiot.
Re: top speed for 305 tbi
Did you ask for my opinion? YES. You go online and brag about your stupidity like a typical dumb *** kid with his first semi-fast car being stupid with it. You want to ruin your life, have at it. You threaten everyone else's safety acting like a **** head, yeah you should be called on it like the dumb kid you are.
Re: top speed for 305 tbi
Hahahahaha, 28 and acting like a 16year old. You should be proud internet tough guy. When you get into your 40's look this thread up, it'll still be on the web. You'll get a good laugh at yourself. The internet, just like stupidity, is permanent.

Re: top speed for 305 tbi
I wasn't trying to start anything but he was asking about his 86 305 tpi top speed not tbi so it needs to be moved???? Because I'm not learning anything about my lo3 being there was not a lo3 in 1986 and no way was a car OEM with 85 speedometer doing 120 really that's Why it has a 85 speedo right but I'm out of this thread waste of my time
