I have a 92 Camaro with a 305TBI and a 700R4 tranny. It has 3.23 gears, Hypertech chip, 8.8MM wires, Super coil, Cat back flowmaster exhaust, Open element air filter, fan switch, 160 degree stat, and pulleys. I've beaten a 95 mustang 5.0 good and a 96 trans am by about half a car length. I have no clue what it runs since it has never been to a track. What do you guys think it should run?

 

I dunno, 16 seconds flat. Maybe better maybe worse.

 

So your basicly saying a 96 Trans Am runs 16s too then?

 

It must have that day.

 

I really think 305TBI's are under rated... Some of them can go pretty good...

 

You sure it wasn't a V6 with trans am badges/decals.

I guess it's possible that a mid 15 second 305 could take a low 14s car....

 

It was a Trans Am for sure had the wing, and sounded like a 8 cyl.

 

Looked bone stock though and it was an auto....

 

After owning a 88 Camaro 305 tbi and realizing how slow it actually was... i couldnt imagine you running any better than a 16 flat. My car was stock, but geez im pretty sure my moms minivan would of killed it! lol

 

the l03 isn't underrated, it really is a dog. and out of all the modifications you have, the only one that is a real improvement over stock is the cat back.

so your car is about a mid 15 second car.

the 96 trans am you beat, could have

A. not been running right, for many reasons (needs a tune up, high mileage, bad tires)

B. couldn't drive

C. wasn't racing.

only one way to tell, take your car to the track.

but most of the time you find, when people quess their car has "X" amount of horsepower, or they think their car will run "X" time, they are usually overestimating.

 

My friend has the exact same car he put a flowmaster exhaust on it, a chip, 3.73 gears and a posi, and a K&N open element filter, and he ran a best of 16.012. so you may be able to get high 15s, as for the Trans Am, either he wasnt trying or it was a V6.
