power estimation
idonno where this goes as far as boards, but about how much power will this make?
92 305 with tbi
rebuilt top end with crane cams compucam (about 2 over) and valve train, and ported heads
underdrive pullies
custom cold air intake
hypertech thermotech chip and thermostat
lightweight flywheel
hooker competition headers, y-pipe, no cat, flowmaster muffler
new plugs, wires, and ingition stuff
will this get me near 300hp??
also... what can i do as far as throttle body and intake upgrades other than go carb or mess with all the tpi wiring?

Swap in a 350 or spend Big Bucks on the 305 and still
not get the same results as with a 350. The 305 TBI is not the best engine to start with in the first place. Also why is 300hp a magic number??

you could just wait til you are out on your own, and then mod it to yoru hearts content.
and 300HP is a tall order on a TBI 305. i am doing heads/cam/intake/exaust and hoping for 225 :-(

i am not saying it can't be done. it is just not something that a factory TBI 305 will do without some major modifcations.
but at 225HP you will have probably 300lbs/ft or more. which a honda will NEVER have.

Let me see stock your car came with 170hp. It has a tiny cam and the worst production heads gm has ever used. You are changing the heads and the cam and only expect to gain 55hp? you must be using a tiny non roller cam...

well, i was talking 225 to the tires, which is 250 or so crank.
and i dont' want a huge cam, i would still like a fairly smooth idle.
but regardless, i would like to see 300HP 305 TBIs - do you have one?

but these # look pretty good.
4250 356.2 288.2
What would be wrong with that?
Why people insist on choking a performance engine with FI is beyond me......

Change out those stock heads man that you got on that car. They are peices of ****...although good for some low end torque...for all out power and and to have atcual top end you'll need new heads. I threw on some Monte Carlo SS heads and Damn huge difference. According to many hp estimators (simple and also pretty advanced ones), also the G-tech pro thing, racing againts other cars, etc. Seems like my motor at the moment has about 240-260hp...which is sadly...about the hp of a stock L98 *slaps forehead* haha...and ofcourse alot less torque then a L98.
