my buddy and i have been debating this pretty heavily so here's the question who would win.

car 1
86 iroc with 350 4bbl, mild cam, stock 700r4, 2500 stall, 2.73 posi rear.

car 2
91 rs w/ 305 tbi, stock 700r4, 2.73 posi rear.

also what kind of et's do yall think would be on each car. thanks guys

 

assuming that 350 is in any kind of reasonable tune, it should beat the TBI no problem. the TBI will likley be in the low 16s to high 15s, need more info on the 350, but likely a mid to low 15 depending on mods.

 

the 350 was rebuilt to stock specs except for a mild cam ( i dont know the duration). it has 305 emmision heads. headers with 2.5" strait pipe all the way to the muffler. holley 600cfm 4bbl w/ vac secondaries. compression is 9.5/1. thanks again guys

 

stock tranny and those low numerical gears are gonna kill that thing.

 

excellent

 

race him and tell us what happens

 

I'm gonna say the 350 will take this one, if you are both in dover he can take a shot at my 305 tbi in a couple weeks

 

86 IROC A4+L98 V8 9.5:1 5.7 (350) 220@4200 320@3200 stock

91 RS M5,A4 LO3 V8 9.3:1 5.0 (305) 170@4000 255@2400 TBI 3.08 ---- 2.73 ----


that 305 has no chance in hell

 

the 350 has 305 heads...thats gonna put a nice dent in his power but he should still have the upper hand i think

 

305 heads aren't always a bad thing.

 

nope they raise the compression a bit

 

So he has raised compression with crappy flow rates, smogger 305 heads aren't good for performance plain and simple.

 

I said it would raise compression, didnt say it was better perfomance :-P

 

If its a set of 416's or 601 305 heads it wont hurt him that much they flow very close to cast iron L98's and he gets raised compression from them. Either way the 350 wins. Hes probably running mid 15's or so and your probably running low 16's. Good Luck.

 

excellent fellows thanks for the info. where are the hot spots to race in the dover area.

 

At the track like a smart person

 

So basically any 305 head on a 350 is a piece of smogger junk, and it is crap? Yep, I guess thats all I need to know about you.

 

lol

 

The 350 should win but it'll probably be close. A '77 Vette 350 was way down on power and torque, nowhere near L98 numbers posted above.

 

i think they where 255hp and 275ft.lbs

 

Not even that good. I'm can't find the Vette numbers but the LM1 350 used in the '77 Z28 was rated at a dismal 170 HP.
