There are a few 305s on here making 300hp or more, mine is one of them. See my sig and do a search for myself, mw66nova, tunedport335, tim burgess, and Willlie. You will find all you need to know.

Also pay attention especially to the TBI board. Dewey316 had a good combo with stock heads that ran into the mid 14s. I have built a few 305s and a few 350 combos myself.
