Just wanted to know how much hp all you guys are making with the 305. Or if i should go with the 350 tbi?

 

I would stick with your LO3 now. Learn all you can about TBI and what makes these cars tick. You can start adding mods to your 305 that can be used on the 350 down the road. This includes exhaust, intake and cam. I would also start looking into chip work right away. You will need to learn how to burn your own chips if you want to properly dial in a combo. Take some time to read through the stickies above to get a better glimps of what it takes to modify a TBI car.

 

my car makes 171 RWHP and 258 RWTQ

 

Listen to Shifty ... learn the programming deal

If I hadn't been listening I would have by now have a car with a different intake ... LT1 cam .. and other things .. and it would be running (IF it would even run) like crap

Unless ya go with all carb .,.. learn the programming

 

Ok, here's what you do.....

Treat Shifty like your parent. Everything he will ever tell you about your TBI motor is in your best interest, even if you don't want to hear it.

Here's what I plan on doing with my 305, you might want to follow my plan too.

I plan on building up my 305 as much as possible.. i'm not looking for impressive, Corvette fighting numbers, but I just want a little extra power. That way you can learn about building motors and how to put things on and take them off, and learn the basics. And then when you know everything you need to know, take out the 305 and put something a little bigger, like a 383 in, and that way you'll know how to build that up too and you wont get frustrated with it because you'll already know everything you need to know.

 

Yes, shifty hit the nail on the head. Computer work is where it is at, with any FI motor, not just TBI, if you want injection, you need to know how to make the computer do what you need.

BTW, here is the kind of potential you have.

293hp/444tq to the rear wheels,

That is abotu 330hp/490tq at the motor, and there is more in it, I made some more computer changes after that dyno session, to correct the AFR. Probably 30-40 hp more than that run, are doable with more dyno time.

 

What the hell did ya do to the engine exhaust ecm and everything ???

 

Thanks guys but i've read all about the chip work till i see numbers in my sleep and i still dont know much more than when i started. But the 305 in it now has 174 000 on the bottom end i dont think it can handel too much more.

 

Mine's 125K

Not sure how long they really last ... I do know though some people make 300-400 hp ... with the stock bottom end ... that's one of the nicest things about our engines .. .we can focus on other things than the bottom end

 

Cam, intake, this and that, and a little bit of nitrous.

Ohh, and I have 188k on the clock, as of this morning.

 

Just wanted to know witch would be better heads the 081's or the WPT 305's And if i had a good set of heads would the LT1 cam be a good choice or mabey a little bigger cam?

 

Mine has almost 181k with exhaust and intake the only major mods. These engines are pretty reliable.....I'd stick with your L03 until it goes bad and you NEED to swap it out.
