305 build up need help

[anfking6908]

i got a 305 bored .060 over RV cam and an edelbrock 600 Cfm carb, edelbrock air cleaner...flowmaster mufflers....wat can i do to get better power out of it? every thing else is stock

get the performer intake, aftermarket HEI ignition and module and maybe a cheap set of headers, I ran a similar package and pulled 302 horses :smt071

Hyd. roller? If you dont know what im asking what year is this 305 out of? What transmission? Rear end/gears? Goals for the car?

Regardless of the answer to the above questions I would run an Edelbrock RPM intake manifold and aftermarket dizzy/coil as mentioned already. Get some quality plug wires to go with em as well. Ditch the exhaust manifolds for a set of Hedman shorties w/ y-pipe. You mentioned a Flowmaster muffler, do you have just the muffler or the full catback? If just the muffler ditch it and replace with a full catback. While you're at it get rid of the catalytic converter or at least replace it with a High-flow unit. If you have the cash I'd spring for the World Products S/R Torquer cylinder heads.

Ill have some extra ideas based on the answers to the questions in the beginning of my post.

ive got a 307, put some flowtech headers(cheap) on it, i only paid 123.00 for mine, the next step up was 350.00 hookers but you'll probaly have to put em on a surface grinder and put some purple hornies on it, im assuming is ether a monte or silverado, right?

sheet i was thinking it was an f-body...what car it is in will depend on which headers to pick...but if its an f-body STAY AWAY from the flowtechs

mine was at the flywheel, i had it in an el camino, it had a bulletproof th350, full dual exhaust with an H-pipe, 3.73 geared rear and 275/60/15 tires... it outran alot of 350 setups and one 400 ta, I could make that second gear chirp without a problem, I shocked alot of people with that setup.

I threw a decent 305 together last year just for fun. I used a high mileage long block from a 84 caprice and added an edlebrock performer cam, intake, 600cfm carb, flowtech headers with a flowmaster exhaust behind it. It ran 15.9@86mph in a 4000lbs car with a th350 stock converter and 3.73 gears. I wonder what that combo would do with a rebuilt engine and in a light weight camaro?

How much did all of that run you for?

I already had everything except for the cam and lifter kit which set me back 190$ canadian. Parts are expensive in canada.
