Re: HOW DO I GET MORE POWER

I would do a search. This topic comes up all the time. And I think I'd call a 305 TBI peppy at best

Re: HOW DO I GET MORE POWER

he means that it runs good for what it is, but it is nowhere near fast

and like he said, do some research on here. Search around the engine forums and you will get a much better understanding of what you need and what it takes.
