Ok, i have a 88 camaro and i got my swap from a 2.8 to a 3.4 done. I have a buddy who has a 5.0 which is a 90. we raced and i beat him. the only mods i have is a 2.5 cat back, hypotech chip. and i think thats it. but he has no mods at all. whats the deal with this? he makes up dumb excuess for losing

 

i forgot to mension there both automatic trans.

 

He's got to be slipping something fierce, or well out of tune! A 3.4 auto should be mid/low 16s?

 

i assume you are talking about a 5.0 camaro, right? the 305s are nothing if you ask me. some people like them and you can make them run good but if its a stock one, with some wear...it won't do much.

 

OH jeez, shoot me. I thought you meant a 5.0 '90 Fox body (Mustang).


Yeah, a 3.1 with a T5 will outrun a stock TBI 305. :P I imagine a 3.4 will REALLY whoop on one.

 

I thought he meant a mustang too, usually the 305 is referred to as a 305, at least from what I've seen reading the forums...

 

Also assumed the same The .05 TBI are slow, i used to knwo a friend who had one, horrible on speed, my 2.8 with the WC T-5 killed it up. The 5.0 Mustang however goes good

 

sorry about that guys lol, but anyways what im tryin to say is i have a 3.4 and people say it runs like a stock 305 or 5.0 which is technicly the same thing, correct me if im wrong btw, could it be my mount when i give it gas hitting the floor board by the shifter or can it be somthing more serious?

 

what is the driving level of both of you? might he have been playing ?.................................. if you give a baby a wrench he isn't gonna do good with it

 

If it was a 305 TBI car it was an easy kill.

But a 305 carbed car is another story. Buddy bought his woman a 3rd gen 305 carbed car and after a decent tune up and a rebuilt carb. That sucker hauled. From a dead stop it would just fry the tires and spin around in circles.

 

Sad sad sad Then you woke up and smelled the coffee or is that my exhaust? By the way does the rear taillights on a v6 look the same because I have never seen them

 

My brother had a '91 305 TBI auto. It was bone stock, but could move out really good. 0-60 was 7-8 seconds. Fuel mileage was in the low 20's too. No doubt a few performance upgrades could have made it even better.

 

we don't particularly like bashing on this board but, i do see that you're in FL. what part? we've got two V6s in FL that would gladly run you, me being one of them. i've showed several different "powerful" vehicles what "V6 taillights" look like on a camaro.

 

can't you guys ever play nice??

 

Thread Locked.


It's amazing when people don't seem to understand that not every 15 year old car runs the same.
