fellow, knowledgable 305 TPI's please help me out!!!

U can see my mods down in the sig, and i know there are more to go. For now im sticking with the 305. Anyway what else can i do to the motor to take full advantage. I was told to get a chip which chip is best for my application. In 2 months or so ill be getting nitrous so i dont know if the chip is possible. what can my hp and most importantly torque be. Any ideas on my 1/4 times. Give me any information or suggestions on my combination and dont even try posting get a 350 or 406. Blower is out of the question since i dont have 3,000 dollars with me yet. Thanks

Vortech305,

Your engine's mods are similar to mine. If you'd like a comprehensive list of everything I've done to my car, please e-mail me. It might give you more ideas on what else you can do to yours.

I agree, nice set of mods. Time to start looking into prom burning. Or get one burnt for you (not as good). You'd be surprised the difference it can make.

Also, look at my setup. I run 3:73s. I originally had 3:42s and I would never dream of going back. Just my opinion. Good luck
