Im new to tgo and I recently met somone with a 10 sec 305 eliminator just curious what is a 305 eliminator?

 

A 350?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Honestly, I have no clue.

 

I was at the local drag strip and i saw him run a 10.9. I asked him what was under the hood and he said it was just a stock 305 eliminator, with the stock quadrajet.

 

Hhhmmm, Stock? 10.9? I hardly thinks so. Unless, he has NOS......

 

"Stock eliminator" is the class he runs in.

 

O I get it. E class?

 

It's not stock, it's a stock eliminator. There are stringent rules on what isn't allowed to be modified, but they leave considerable room for creativity. For example, the rules say that only cams with stock lift may be used but nothing is said about duration. That leads to some interesting cam profiles.

 

He is on dragtimes.com he didnt list any cam specs. He does say its the stock q-jet. I was unaware of the potential of a q-jet, could he have ported it or somthing?

 

Most likely it's stock. A Qjet is no impediment to performance.

 

Mod305 is a member on here who competes in stock eliminator. 10.x times as well.
"Stock" 305, ie stock bore (or slight overbore) and stroke, stock lift cam (crazy, top secret duration), no port work on the heads, stock valve size etc etc.
And yea, nothing wrong with a q-jet. 750cfm is enough to go that fast, it might be slightly restricted, but nothing to write home about.

 

I did'nt know the q-jet flowed that well. I've seen a few people swap thier q-jet for an edlebrock 600 but what would be the point?

 

Edelbrocks are shinier than Qjets, and have better marketing.

 

"Stock q-jet" is a bit of a stretch as well. It doesn't have to be computer control, and the things they do to those carbs are as secret as the cam profile.

 

no port work on the heads?!!? what about nonstock valvesprings and rocker arms? i guess intake manifold is open to whatever?

how is that possible to go 10's with that "stock" cammed only 305?? I'm assuming these are VERY gutted racecars that proby weight 2800 lbs or so, maybe less

IF not, then what is everyone doin wrong? I dont know many fast 305's on here other a than a select few and some of them run heads/intake/etc

 

Anyone can do the same things that are done to a stock eliminator car and get the same result, which is a dedicated race-only car which is in no way streetable.

 

Yea, 4500-8000RPM powerband takes the fun out of stoplight racing

 

fun roll racing i bet tho....

 

was he running the 1/8 or 1/4 mile?

 

He was around 3000lbs and definately had some custom made cam. It was 1/4. Heads and intake were stock.http://www.dragtimes.com/Chevrolet-C...slip-4952.html
