if you dont want to mess with chips do a full exhaust and a good open or dual snorkel intake(air cleaner) best bang for the buck. Also a good tune up with a hot coil and good wires and cap/rotor. bump the timing a tad.. 2-6* and enjoy.

Re: hello everyone what should i do to my 305

i feel you im rebuilding it anyways so i was thinking about caming it out and maybe 30 over if it can take it and im looking at a set of 202 heads for a 350 i can get cheap off a friend of mine he went bigger and took those off his drag car and i was told they would bolt right on and a set of shorty headers that was give to me

Ya don't over-cam based on DCR. That's the worst compromise. Cam for the heads, then check the cranking compression.

202 valves wont work with a cam over 400 lift with out some good block work... stick with 194 max valve size. The valves will bash in to the cylinder walls.

Not in a 1992... you will need to burn a new chip or get EBL Flash.
