HP on 1986 z28 305?
Hi I'm new here. First off I am sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section or whatever. Anyways, I'm 16 and I bought a 1986 Camaro z28 off craigslist the other day. Its a 305 engine. Sorry I dont know a whole hell of a lot about cars haha... But I have been researching and have found that the horse power on it is 190. Is this very good? It doesn't sound that great for a sports car.. but what do I know? Its an automatic transmission and from what I've read the standards have 215hp. Is this correct? anyways, thanks for helping out a dumb kid with his first car haha.

Check the FAQ forum for a thread called "differences between 305's and performance improvement", or something to that effect.
