Dude.
(1) when asking for advice, don't slam the advice before you get it.
(2) if you want to go fast, a 350 IS better than a 305. Can you still go fast with a 305? Of course. Is it going to be easier to go fast with the 350? Of course. Bigger motors make bigger power.
(3) 13's is not a difficult target. If you know "all that **** about small blocs" why are you asking us?
(4) there are several fast 305's on thirdgen, did you do a search?
Oh, and I'll even answer your question!

If you think a 350 isnt better you couldnt be farther from the truth. I have an 87 IROC with a 350 and my friend has a 90 RS. Both are slightly modified and I can blow his doors off. Remember this, there is no replacement for displacement

Well, let's see, first there is full exhaust about $500, I'd say get some Edelbrock or Hooker headers and a Hooker cat-back.
Then get a comp cam figure about another $140.
I think you'll need new heads, I hear the stock TBI heads were junk. Looking at another $600 or so.
Get a some 3:42s or 3:73s another $300. Higher stall TC if it's an auto. Another $300 or so. That all right there might might get you into the 13s, I don't know anything about TBI but I'm sure you would have to do some mods to it, chip and what not.

for all that work to put a TBI economy motor into the 13's you could build a 12 second or better 350. No offense to you guys with 305's i've had one in the past. But we all know there's no replacement for displacement and a chevy 350 is definitly cheap enough to build up. $2,500 put the chevy hi-performance mag's L98 car into the 12's. That's with the cost of the shortblock and all. $2,500 will get you 13's? Yes..but why waste money?
yea but if you say togo with a 350 why stop there if there is n relacemnt for displacemnt then y not go with a 400 or even step u to the big block. but anyways we have a 5 speed in there now it is supose to hande a good 300 lb ft i think so i cant go with anything ta will destoy the trany on a test run. but thanks guys
so gears, heads(vortec) or what?, cam, (what duration do yo sugest?), exhuast (what brands are better?)

True why not go bigger? Go price a 400 small block buildup or a big block build up. We're talking affordable displacement not a $5000 project motor. If you're satisfied with 13's I'd still get a 350. You'd spend a hell of alot less getting a 350 into the 13's than a 305 TBI. And the tranny would still most likely hold up.

That T5 will get you into the 13s easily without breaking.

You don't want a 350, than buy a Mustang!!! J/K Your probably looking towards forced induction, Nitrous or lots of head and intake, and cam work!!! Good luck!

I love Stangs too.
Course I would love to get another notchback one, those tend to be a little quicker.

I just never liked mustangs.........Im not wanting to start an argument I just stated I dont like them.............Not claiming whos better or anything..........But if I was to get one.........The notchbacks were the best in my opinion......But Ill stick with my Camaro...

The damn notchbacks look nearly exactly like a Chrysler K-car for crying out loud. I'd have to have a GT...

Though I like the looks of them too.
Mark, I was looking up to you, man. Now I'm discouraged. My hero "love stangs too."..................J/K. Mark is right though. A comp cams XE268 cam, port and pollished 1.94/1.50 heads, 1.6 roller rockers, decent 1-5/8 headers, good cat-back exhaust, and a 3.42 rear end. A chip will help also.
13's...no problem. If you know how to shift. Just don't blow the trans.

How much more practical is it for a 305 TPI to get into 13's than the TBI? Mine is TPI and I'm just curious....

But I still love my TBI You have to ways to go
#1:
*L98 Aluminum Vete heads-$550
*Comp camps xtreme energy Roller-$240
*350 TBI injectors-$???
* RPM TBi intake(porting not a bad idea)-$300(i think)
*Sphon SFC's-$190
*Sphon panhard rod-$110
*BMR LCA's-$150
*TC(2800stall)
this combo should do 14.0-13.5(with a good driver)
choice#2
*Used LT1 cam-$60
*Ultimate TBi mods-free(see tech artilces)
*same suspension mods as above-$450
*NOS TBI 100 shot-$540
* Good driving and some BFG Drag radials
*TC(2800 stall)
may break into the 13.8 range but no more

what combination of heads, cam is the best on TPI???
im looking into buying a 350 4bolt block bored .030 over, for putting my TPI on, i wont be running stock inj. or tpi base, runners, or plenum, i was wondering a good combination of head's and cam and roller rocker's to top it off, and i want to run at least mid 13's but 12's would be good too
Thanks -Don
Thanks -Don
13's in a 305 throttle body? are you crazy?? your gonna need cam work head work, intake and fuel inj work, rear end work and tranny work, i would just swap on a carb unless you wanna keep fi, if you want a cheaper way get a 350.....its that simple
