i think the first thing you need to know is torque isn't measured in PSI

I think the only way to get 500ft/lbs in a 305 would be blown or sprayed, in order to let it live on the street.

blowers for 305s are impossible to find that are O.K. for the street. As for spraying... your nuts if you think you will be spraying alot. 305's have good cams for Spray however, but just not enough duration. lift helps too. I;m tryin to find a way to run a lumpy cam in my stock 305, but things like knock sensors and timing issues come out in a ECM controlled car.
