i am going out to look at a 91 camaro tommorrow its got the 305 TPI. how do i tell if its got the 205 HP motor or the 230 HP?

thanks, rick

 

TPI or TBI.

Tuned port = rocks socks

TBI = get smoked by a civic.

 

Or..if it's auto or manual. Auto is the 205 HP, manual is the 225 HP.

 

oh well **** ok its an auto. i know its TPI tho

thanks

 

Look at the tac. The LB9 that got the cam from the L98 will have the yellow line at 5000 RPM and red at 5500 RPM.

 

ooooooooooh ok

that makes sense

thanks alot

 

1 or 2 cats?

 

The cat could of been replaced... as with my 91 formula... it had 1 when I got it, but after checking the vin with a dealer, I was told it was originally 2 cat...

It's a 5 speed tpi, so it has the L98 cam... and fun too

Ok an argument will start here considering some say my 91 auto lb9 got the l98 cam and some will say it got the peanut cam regardless of what the tach says.

 

ok well on the hpone the guy told me it was fuel injected but it turns out it is the LO3. but i bought it anyways cuz it was 1600 bucks and it runs good.

thanks for the help tho

 

All the L03's are TBI with the "peanut cam" and 170 HP.

The 205 HP 305 TPI's have a single cat system and a 2.25" cat-back exhaust, same as the TBI engines. The 230 HP 305 TPI's have the dual cat system and a 2.75" cat-back, same as the 350 engines.

 

oh so the reason why TBI is slow much slower is just the cam pretty much?

 

More the exhaust than the cam.

 

no more the fuel injection.

intake.

 

oh ok
