Well since i got bashed on my last thread about a 305 small block, I was just wondering who all thinks that the 350 tpi, "HO",cross fire, whatever 350 you got in a 3rd gen, is "OVERALL" better than the base model 305. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

I call BS on what you just said. I got buddys of mine with 283s that can scream past 350s. Displacement aint everything. I smoke a 396 BB with my 305sb. Its how you set up the car. All the 350 has over the 305 is a bigger bore and larger head ports.You better bring more to the table, besides telling me that worn out statement about displacement. To aquire 305 cubic inches, doesnt mean i gotta use a plain jane 305small block either.And if you cant figure that one out, then i must know something you dont. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

We are talking about stock engines.. not modified engines. Once you get into modded engines, theres no comparison because there are way too many options.
Long and short of it is, the bigger the displacement, the more potential there is for power when you start modding.
Do the exact same things to a 305 and a 350, that 350 is gonna make more power.. but if u put the 305 in a civic, and the 350 in a 3500lb muscle car, the civic will win. That doesnt mean the engine is better, it just means the person chose a better setup for their car.
If you cant figure that one out, then the rest of us must know something you dont.

yeah your right on the setup part. Yeah you can mod the hell out of the two engines with performance parts and the 350 will kick the 305s ass. But...there is a away to take 305 cubic inches crush a 350.Ill give one of many ways.Oh yeah this isnt talking about stock anymore, im proving you that dispacement isnt everything.So lets say i have a 327SB with its stock bore of 4", and a stroke of 3.2". Same size bore as the 350s. We go over to Mr. 283 and grab his crankshaft which makes a 3.0" stroke.Put that crank in our 327 block. Ok so now we have a 4" bore and a 3" stroke. Now grab your calculator son im bout to take you to school."bore squared tmes pie times stroke/4 times 8. So thats 4 times 4 times 3.14 times 3.0/4 which is 37.68 times 8 equal smaller than the 305, 301 c.u. you wanna get a 305, the stroke is 3.034. which cost money.my smaller displacement will scream past your 350 at 7000rpm with its little stroke. Oh yeah there is a little more that goes into this to make it work. Im not trying to act like a no it all either, but you called me an assbreeze and tried to say there was no replacement for dispacement. I didnt go to school for nothing and my grandpa taught me a lot of this stuff. Im done with posting simple threads about opinions on engines because all i get is starcasm, and when you do that the only thing i can do is prove a point. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

305's have a bit more low end torque, but other than that, a 350 is the better route. Lets keep this from being a flame topic. --

OK bro, most of us do understand what a stroker is, and what it can do. The reason you got flack for this post is you asked one question, and then disputed the response, with an answer that has nothing to do with the origional question.
"I was just wondering who all thinks that the 350 tpi, "HO",cross fire, whatever 350 you got in a 3rd gen, is "OVERALL" better than the base model 305. "
A stroked out 305 is NOT the base model 305. Everyone is gonna respond that the 350 is a better engine, cause we all know stock it was a stronger motor. When you start changing a motor, its not stock anymore, an all bets are off.
Do you get it? ure comparing apples to watermellons, and expecting us to agree with you. It doesnt work like that.

"THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT." Is the reason i changed my story. And i never said anything about a stroker. I talked about a destroked block. now Did you get it. And when i said "OVERALL" who thinks which engine is better, meaning hey my 305 gets better gas mileage, and came with a five speed, or another reply prob could have been no 350 stock came with more power and options. I just asked OPINIONs i never claimed at first one was better than the other stock. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

"THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT."
there isn't. if you do the same modifications to a 350 as you would do to a 305 (other than yank it and pitch it ) you will come out with a bigger power number to the bigger engine.
why do you stroke a 305? to get more C.I.
if you start with a bigger motor to begin with, you will get even more C.I.
the more air and fuel you can cram in the cylinder the more power your gonna make. EDIT: and efficently burn
the phrase "theres no replacement for displacement" can't be prooven wrong. you can make a smaller engine more powerful than a bigger engine with boost or spray. if you boost or spray the bigger engine it will make more power.
not bashing, i just like alittle friendly debating.  --

"if you start with a bigger motor to begin with, you will get even more C.I".--not always true. I already described this, and im not about to go back in to it in detail. Take a 327, and use the crank out of say, a 302 which gives the new stroke of 3 inches for the 4.0" 327. Now take your Bore and square it and then multiply that by 3.14 and then multiply the stroke, divide by 4 and then multiply by 8.Thats a destroked 327 to a 301 cu."theres no replacement for displacement" can't be prooven wrong has just been proven wrong. Cuz with the engine combo i made has the 4" bore the 350 has, and its short stroke ruduces friction and reduces the time it takes the piston to move up and down creating a higher RPM band. Im not going to stop with proving this theory until someone out there will admit it, and i know there is got to be another engine builder on here that understands what im talking about. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

302 crank with a 3" stroke? thats a ford crank. its physicaly impossible for that crank to fit in a sbc.
so... let me get this straight. you destroke this motor to reduce your frictional loss? what about the ability to fill more volume in the cylinder? create more compression?
if your lookin for rpm's go with a full roller cam/valve terrain. you'll be able to spin 6500-7k all day long. --

I do beleive for a FACT that GM came out with a 302 from 1967-1969. And it will fit, but you could use the crank out of a 262, or 283 they all have a 3" stroke. And for filling the volume up you have to adjust the compression heigth of the piston. Many times people destroked engines to meet class rules, and with the high rpm band they make, some used it for power. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

ya hes right gm made a 302 in 67,68and 69 it had a 3.00 stroke and a 4 inch bore 327 block and they used 283 cranks i do believe gm made the 302 first and then ford made the 302 but gm stoped useing that motor after 69 so no one think gm made one and the people who know gm did think they copied ford but i dont think they did, gm made the 302 first also it only came in Z-28 camaro,s

gm was the first to use the 302, and they did in the z28s until 1970. fod got their 302 by boring out the 289w i believe, and that was 2 years after the z28s started giving them a hard time.
and it is totally possible to build a 302 sbc. -- 1995 Red Firebird Formula

bruzer,
com on man, your asking for our opinions and then telling us that we are wrong.
just about every 350 produced made more power than the "base model 305"
im sure that you know guys with very fast cars, but no matter what, if you take a 305 or whatever motor you have/want and a motor with larger displacement and do the same mods to it the motor with the larger displaement will have more power.
<@R>
302 with the same cam/head/intake/exhaust as a motor with more displacement will make less power.
that is how MY statement is not B.S.
slightly off of the subject but how old are you?

UsefulIdi0t, the 305 is closer to being a square engine (square meaning the bore and stroke are the same) An undersquare engine would have more low end torque than say an oversquare engine, which would have more top end power. I dunno if it has more max torque, but bottom end I'm pretty sure it does. --

Ok man, im not going to get back into the subject about theres no replacement for displacement, yeah the 350 came with more HP. than a 305 stock. I never tried to say anyones opinion was wrong either. But i do know that smaller displacement can outperform a bigger one when using engine combos. I have explained it already. What do you mean by stand offish. Im 21, and im a automotive technician. I have a desire to use underdog equipment for means of an advantage, such as my 305. Many books i read hold secrets of destroking an engine and the power they can produce. Stokers are really good combos to use too.

"But i do know that smaller displacement can outperform a bigger one when using engine combos. I have explained it already."
no one here is arguing that either. What we are saying is...
if you had a smaller displacement motor with your part comobs, it would make less power than a larger displacement motor with those exact parts.
we know that a 305 can be fast, but with the EXACT SAME PARTS ON A 350, the 350 will produce more power.
as for the standoffis thing, all the post ive read that you have posted seem rather negative towards other people. im trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. hopefully things go well --

it's simple. for every dollar that you invest into any engine with less displacement you can invest the same amount of dollars into an engine with greater displacement and the engine that had the greater displacement initially will have more power in the end. now, i'm not trying to persuade you into picking a 350; i think it's really cool when people invest the time and money into 305's to make them quick. i'm just saying that there isn't any angle you can look at this from and see an engine with less displacement making more HP than an engine with greater displacement. given that you match every dollar on the 2 engines. -- 1991 Pontiac Firebird

shift, im having a hard time believing that an engine with a smaller bore will create more low end torque than an engine with a larger bore, with the exact same stroke.
if anything, the 305 (as in L03) would be creating more low end torque than a 350 (as in L98) because of the swirl port heads that were outfitted on those engines. they were designed for producing low end torque for towing applications, and they did a tremendous job in doing it.
now if you take a 350 and put 187 castings on it, it will create more low end torque than the 305, becasue on the 1/4" bore difference. -- 1995 Red Firebird Formula

to respond to that you don't have to have a 305 small block to get a 305 is right there is a 305 v6 and its very larger brother the 500 cid v6 that came out in large service truck's I have seen one in a GMC Tanker that use to hall JP-5 Jet fuel I am curently strocking a 5.0 lt vortect on top of following A build up on how to get 400hp out of a 305 with just bolt on parts that's without a blower or NOS -on High pump gas I can bet that sence I am building a roller cam motor and storking it which are not part of the build up I can exced 400hp- Now tell me what you think of those speces and if you want to know about yhe build up I can give you the link

ss69camaro7, weight doesn't matter when it comes to acceleration? Also, put your same "turbocharged" setup on a 350 and see what happens.

people, people, people....
im not sure all of you guys get it!
noone is saying that the 305 cannot be made into a motor that is stronger/faster that a 350 motor.
Yes there are 305's out there that are faster tham manny 350s.
However, what im/manypeople in here are saying is that if you build a motor with the same options, it would be faster/stronger if it was built on a motor with more displacement.
thats why bigblocks are more popular in other drag racing communities.
This is like arguing whether or not the 305 is better than a 632c.i. Merlin. same principle

be honest with ya i seen alot of 305 owners smokin the doors off 350s stock....305 has butt loads of torque compared to 350....HP doesnt mean crap if u cant jump off the line fast.....torque makes a car scream off the line :-) not trying to be a a hole or anything just posting a comment

Um...go look up the torque specs for a 350TPI and then a 305 TPI and then shut up.
The biggest reason that the 305 TPI's ran with the 350 TPI's is that the 350's were only available in auto, and they put an intake setup (and possibly cam, not sure) on the 350 that was designed for a much smaller displacement 305. That's why the 350's were only rated like 10 more hp than the 305 TPI's in many cases. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28

This thread is so funny I could cry...
Yes you can "beat a 350 with a 305"...
I outran Third Gen cars in my old 92 3.1! That doesn't count for sh!t in this discussion though.
As for the bullshit hypothetical engine, You aren't gonna do crap with it because of the lack of stroke. You miss the entire point that to RUN AT THAT HIGH OF AN RPM YOU HAVE TO SPEND ASSLOADS OF $ SO THE ENGINE CAN HANDLE IT!
Others pointed out that obvious reasoning but didn't say why good enough. You stick the same heads and all related parts from the small engine onto the 350 and you will have more power.
Not to mention the life of your engine... Why do you think GM quit putting those touchy high RPM engines in their cars?
It cost to damn much, and they broke way to damn easy. Both being bad for business. End of story.
305 engines didn't have more torque. They had plenty for the times...
Same scientific principles applied to a 350 and the 350 has more HP and more Torque.
You change intakes and cam to run faster air at lower RPM, you build torque. A 350 could run a mid level (for the era) intake, cam, etc. and produce similar torque but higher overall top end HP. That makes for a better all around engine in most normal driving situations.
Now for my opinion...
Chevy should have put 500 cubic inch engines in 3rd gen cars. They should have had SFC's and all the other needed parts installed so I didn't have to buy them...
Oh yeah, LT1 cars look like a stretched Geo Storm!!

Keep up with the thread guys...
I said "hypothetical" as in his(Bruzer) description of the 302 that he says will "scream past your 350 at 7000rpm with its little stroke."
It will but not if the rest of the engine isn't set up to handle the high RPM.
What I am saying is it isn't the lack of stroke that makes the 302 do the screaming. The money has to be spent to make the engine handle constant high RPM or it will have a nice exciting ending much sooner than the guy with a 350 that can run right next to him. --

now why would you put a 302 in a third gen?
a DZ302 is a rare motor to come by, and if you had one, sell it to someone building an rs, ss, or rs/ss first gen camaro...
just build a motor, what ever it is you choose... and just have fun with it... i'm personally building a 350 because i had a block available to me, but my 79 caprice wagon has a 305 in it and i slapped headers, cam, intake, carb and double roller timing chain on it and it runs great... for a 5,000lb land yacht. --

He wasn't talking about a real 302... He said he was:
"proving you that dispacement isnt everything.So lets say i have a 327SB with its stock bore of 4", and a stroke of 3.2". Same size bore as the 350s. We go over to Mr. 283 and grab his crankshaft which makes a 3.0" stroke.Put that crank in our 327 block. Ok so now we have a 4" bore and a 3" stroke. Now grab your calculator son im bout to take you to school."bore squared tmes pie times stroke/4 times 8. So thats 4 times 4 times 3.14 times 3.0/4 which is 37.68 times 8 equal smaller than the 305, 301 c.u. you wanna get a 305, the stroke is 3.034. which cost money.my smaller displacement will scream past your 350 at 7000rpm with its little stroke. Oh yeah there is a little more that goes into this to make it work. Im not trying to act like a no it all either, but you called me an assbreeze and tried to say there was no replacement for dispacement. I didnt go to school for nothing and my grandpa taught me a lot of this stuff."
I guess he didn't realize(not sure) that he is describing a 302.
He is right that the engine will scream. He misses the point that everyone isn't made of money to keep it running or build it in the first place...
THAT is why "THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT."
That is why large engines with a lot of torque are becoming more popular these days. Some stroker kits aren't the best idea... You should use an aftermarket block and all that. If you look at stock engines then it is simple to see that for less money you have more daily driving power and reliability in a 350. If you have a 305 so be it. It isn't a big deal. Drive it until it is time to have another engine. Then it is just as easy to build a 350 as a 305. That is why everyone does it.
Simple as that.

Also, if you are saying you have a STOCK 305 with a turbo you are in the wrong place to be "racing for pinks".
Also, I didn't say there was anything wrong with a 305. I just pointed out some mistakes in peoples posts. Like yours.

yeah red, he has a destroked motor in his car, it bumped him all the way into the 17s, you have no chance....
i dont know where these people even come up with this shit....
305s are not that great
350 > 305
let me see if I can encode this into retard-speak with [normal english in brackets].
if i were to destroke my 350 [because that is the most logical mod you could do.] it would still be faster than your destroked 305.
Its obvious you can make many different motors faster than a 350 [ariel atom anyone? oh wait, i forgot its fast because its really light, but that actually shouldnt matter. weight doesnt affect speed so im really perplexed right now.]. But it is easier to make a larger displacement motor run 10s then it would be to make a smaller displacement run 10s.

Well looks like i started something. Im glad. Why i havent been on here for so long is be cause i traded my computer for a 87 LT Camaro,91 RS Camaro, and a 82 z28 Pace car. What can i say i love 3rd gen Camaros.And im not Bullshitting. And while i was away, i had the pleasure of beating some camaros with 350s with my 305. Im glad some people agree with me, and im sorry a lot of you didnt. Yeah i know what a 350 can do, and what a bigger displacement will do and what money can do. 305s arent popular and they have a small bore, and most of them are slow. Weight does play an issue, forced induction, etc. There is so much on this thread about differnt ways a 350 is a better winner than the 305. But my 305 with bolt ons and a 5speed transmission will still put a lot of 350 heartbeats to rest. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

The 305 is a better motor. . .
For first time drivers. If I had a 350 as my first car I probably would have modded it up and killed myself on some stretch of road somewhere or another.
If the 305 was of a completely different make, generation, or something then this thread would make sense in that there are other factors to consider. But you can only really talk volume here which is a no-brainer.
I do think 305's modded to run with modded 350's are cool and says something about doing more with less. Your still making the motor work harder though--technically reducing longevity(?). A modded up 305 is a compliment to the driver and/or tech. It's a tribute to the F-Body in the end, and some people don't mind some sacrifice ($/cap on HP) to pay that respect.

O.K dude this has got to be the most worthless thread I have ever seen.I have built and raced every ci chevy, dodge, and pontiac stroker, and destroker you can imagine in your head and the saying definetly holds true that displacement is king.I think you must have been in a cave all these years as guys like joe sherman have been building killer fast big ci sb and big block combos.I cant remember the last time I was at a PRO or NHRA event and watched a 327 or a 283 or 305 motor past a big ci small block ya know why? cause it never happened! I would gladly set my 420ci small block up against the baddest 305 in the world,he would never take me no matter how much money he dumped into it. I guess in all your "schooling" you never understood the concept of an engine being a giant air pump? The larger the displacement the more air thats pulled in out thy more power that being made (granted the heads have enough cfm to support the stroke). I guess We should all write dodge a letter and tell them their larger 6.1 liter Hemi(420hp) should be eliminated and make way for the 5.7 liter hemi(340hp)Give me a break! --

Even stock vs. stock it comes down too much to application. LO5 version of the 350 vs, LB9 305, the LB9 will win. For those who don't feel like looking it up, the LO5 was used in trucks, vans, etc. was a TBI @ ~210 hp, the LB9 is TPI @~230hp at their highest points. They come from the same years, they just varied in application. Last point, the 302 was developed for racing and was underrated at 290hp.
Unless two engines were meant to go into the exact same application, one cannot be generalized as being better than another in every instance. The LS7 is better than the LS2, they both go into a 2006 Vette. Arguing that a 302 that was initailly designed to race at high revs is better than a 350 that was the mainstay small block for many vehicles is saying that kiwi are better than apples. You can't make the comparison unless you are talking about strawberry flavored drinks. --

Yes, but it has NO relation to the question you asked.
"I was just wondering who all thinks that the 350 tpi, "HO",cross fire, whatever 350 you got in a 3rd gen, is "OVERALL" better than the base model 305."(Bruzer 10-18-2006)
You got bent just after that when roubenbird said, "THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT."
The fact remains that if you PREPARE a 350 in the same manner as a STOCK 302, It will have more HP and Torque.
It isn't the stroke that makes the power. It is the fact that the engine was built to handle high RPM and had the essential equipment to produce power at that high RPM. All that "essential equipment" can be done to a 350 also.
Do you understand what I am saying? Nobody is bashing a 302 or a built 305. We are just bashing you in this thread because you are comparing apples to oranges.

i guess the other option is to say that you dont and then you will be forever bashed and looked down upon as that poor soul that thinks 305's are better than 350's.

Again, if you don't know what you are talking about, keep your stupidity to yourself. Try reading. Then try to understand.
A Small Block Chevy is a Small Block Chevy. Nobody said ANYTHING about putting parts from a 305 into a 350.
We SAID that if you put the same parts ON a 350 that the 302 uses to handle high RPM's, it will have more power.

...and just when I was afraid this thread was dying down... a new injection of stupidity. I really think that guy is mildly retarded.
As cool as the 302DZ motor is lets not pretend it was the king of HP. The 427 aluminum motor was MUCH more powerful. (I'm using engines from the same era just to be consistant.)
While we're being honest lets face facts... the 305 wasn't built to rule the streets. It was built during a time when emissions and fuel economy were crippling muscle cars. If having 45 less cubes was so much of an advantage why aren't they making 305ci LSx engines?

First Gen Camaro engine ratings for 1969:
Z28: 302 V8 290bhp @ 5800rpm, 290lb-ft @ 4200rpm.
SS350: 350 V8 300bhp @ 4800rpm, 380lb-ft @ 3200rpm.
Exact same application, 350 has the better numbers. Also, 302's were useless until 3500-4000rpm, and were normally shifted at 7500rpm for racing. High reving horsepower with no lowend torque does not a good engine make. Unless you are launching on slicks @ 4000rpm, or racing in an application where you are consistantly in high rpm (say a long circle track) the 350 will eat the 302 for lunch.
To wrap up this 302/350 debate: In the right applications, the 302 is a great motor. In most applications, the 350 is the better motor. --

well i read the whole damn thing so i might as well throw in my 3 cents. the only thing i've ever found to be better with a 305 over a 350 is the ability to handle being water-logged and frozen solid for over a month following a small-creek-turned-5-foot-hole incident. an oil change, new plugs and a warm day was all she needed to start back up. god damn amazing i thought. of course i've never waterlogged a 350 so i can't compare...still a good story though yeah?

Um, a 283 with 1 hp per ci would have 283hp. They rated those motors gross which means that it probably makes around 230-240 net hp with lowish torque. Any LT1 has at least 275 hp and 325 tq net.

And just to set the record straight those 283s were rated more than 283 HP, they were a about 295, the 283 1 horse per cubic inch was a marketing tool. And dont cry about smog laws, its only a 283 right, small displacement. -- 1990 RS Camaro V6 and slow as sh*$

yalls betta watch out whenz i get my 2.4 liter destrokd ima smoke yall
honestly tho. i have a good example from the 4 cyl world.
the 240sx comes with a N/A 2.4L in the US and a turbo 2.0L in japan. the turbo 2.0 liter pushes a good bit more power than the natural 2.4 liter. but guess what happened when people started strapping turbos to the bigger 2.4L in america? more power and torque with the same boost -- katana 750.....nissan 240sx.....husqvarna cr-125......mazda b2000

burzer, the people youre arguing with are pretty involved and knowledgable in auto racing and have been using factual information and your own words against your argument. you asked a question, a stupid question at that, and you didnt get any answers you liked, so you changed the subject by completely removing your much loved 305 far from anything that resembles a stock configuration.
your not impressing anybody, your only making an ass out of yourself. and wasting peoples time
if your a fan of small displacement, high revving engines, go get a k20a or 13b, but dont make yourself look like an ass in public and use nonsensical theoretical bullsh*t to back up half assed notions of racing. -- 1995 Red Firebird Formula

"why the f*ck you get get back on here an post your three cents"
becasue i felt like calling you out on your opinions. as did almost everyone else.
"alot of yall on here read me wrong, I know a 350s better overall"
then why in the hell would you name a thread "Which is better 305 or 350" and ask of us "I was just wondering who all thinks that the 350 tpi, "HO",cross fire, whatever 350 you got in a 3rd gen, is "OVERALL" better than the base model 305."
that has got to be the lamest excuse for someone trying to back out of a corner they put themselves in. Its also got to be the stupidest question ive ever heard asked on a car forum.
you either did it intentionally to start a fuss, or you know absolutely nothing about how engines function.
pick one.
"Most of yall on here jump to proportion and give me Horsepower and torque specs, that dont mean shit sometime."
Horsepower , Torque, Weight, and Gearing are the 4 fundamentals of automotive performance, and have been since the first car was made. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE AN ENGINE MAKES. IT DOES MATTER HOW MUCH A CAR WEIGHS. GEAR RATIOS DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A CARS PERFORMANCE. THOSE PRINCIPLES MATTER ALL THE TIME.
"Do a better job of convincine me that im totally wrong on little displacement and i might quit"
ask any credible engine builder and he will tell you that its easier and more cost effective to get 500hp out of an engine with a larger displacement than it is to use a smaller displacement engine. time after time after time. if this wasnt true, the 262 chevy v8 would be in every car.
its not our job to convince you of anything, but we do have a resposibility to call people out when they post things like this, and when we think theyre wrong. the only convincing you need is a semester in high school physics. -- 1995 Red Firebird Formula

But yall underestimate smaller displacement engines.
No we don't... we know they don't make as much power as the bigger motors. That's why people add boost to small motors, to increase its displacement.

Not so much dumb as stupid to keep up the crap.
Have you not figured out that all you are getting bashed on (in all actuality, the other guy has more bashing here than you) is that your statements are way off the question this post was asking?
If you go back and read, you might catch that...
Being a GM tech doesn't make you able to get your thoughts down in plain English. Your posts have been all over the place. Not a single premise has backed your argument. That makes your Argument Unsound and Invalid. I assume you know what that means since you have a degree. Basic Creative Thinking, Psych, or PERSUASIVE WRITING terms... --

there is no way in hell you got 125+ horsepower from just the mods that you listed.

Holly shit, if that don't sound like some kind of mullet headed red neck toothless kind of god damn shit I don't know what does. You probably threw a fukin 750 CFM carb on top of an emmissions cam and think it gave you at least another 100 hp at the fukin wheels.

hmm... you have a degree and physics and you're a GM tech. Those don't exactly go together, if you're going to lie just pick one and stick with that. Don't get greedy with your BS. I personally would stick with the physics lie since some of the lab techs we have at work couldn't find their ass with both hands. The problem is that they understand the fundementals of an internal combustion engine which seems to elude you. There are a lot of semi-retarded GM techs out there so maybe that's your best bet.
We aren't talking shit about you being dumb... you just insist on proving it every time you post here.

Looks like we have a john madden wannabe here. Look guy your best bet is to quit while you're ahead because right now standing your ground is making you look like a fool.
Come on now honestly, we all know what the 305 is capable of if you mod the piss out of it. And the same holds true for any other motor but I'll bet those LT1 cars and 350 cars you "cut" are either stock as a rock, have shit drivers, or weren't even racing.
Running 9's in the 1/8 still puts you in the 14 second range where stock LT's run and adding tire height pretty much nullified your 3.42 gears. I don't have a physics degree just a basic understanding of drag racing.

I think then i might just be able to pull off a high 8 run.Yeah ill admit to yall i have posted some CRAZY BS on here and i have enjoyed doing it because my responces were funny as hell. but no BS i got a 9.3 1/8 305. The only help that i really got is that 5sp. cuz my car isnt modded to hell, its got what i say its got.And stock 305s can outrun some 350s i dont care what you say, i mean i have done it. 350 is better though, i just put one in my 87 Camaro, i swapped the 305 out of it, imagine that.

Don't get me wrong... 305s can be made quick. Actually, my stock LB9 ran a 14.9 @ 92, but it was a factory freak.
Honestly, I look back on that car and I STILL miss driving it (it's in the garage incapacitated). It's more fun than my LT1 and not nearly as fast...
Anything I add to this thread will just be a repeat of what everyone else has said, so I'm going to let this rest by saying a 305 is not worthless, but it is FAR from a performance engine. It takes a lot more to get power out of them (trust me, I looked into it quite extensively--they just don't have the response). --

jesus that took forever to read, took 2 smoke breaks lol.
my camaro originally had a 305 in it, at first when i dropped my 350 in it was stock and i was kinda dissappointed. it felt like the 305 pulled harder. but top end the 305 fell flat on its face where the 350 kept pulling. after a few bolt ons and some gear i was much happier with the 350, however thats modded vs stock.
i have a serious question to you guys though, lets take 2 91 RS's put a 305 in one and a 350 in the other. both stock to stock. same gear, trans, driver, everything the same except the motor. seeing how the 305 is more tqy than the350 would it take it in the 1/8th? and 60 ft? and would the 350 take the 1/4?

Truth is 350 is better, but if the 305 was modified to make up for the displacement difference you can have a powerful 305.
the most you can put on the engine is a mild cam, larger injectors, High PSI fuel pump, change the pulleys, cold air kit, tornado fuel saver (it really works) and a slight modication to the EMC AND CHANGE THE REAR END TO 3:73, that can make a big diffrence.
I BURNED PLENTY OF STOCK 350's on the streets. they never knew what hit'em
-then i dropped in a 383-hahahah now they hear me coming from blocks away.

It depends on what you are using it for mostly If you are hot rodding definately a 350 if you drive on long trips i perfer a 305 i find 350s run a little hotter and start to use oil after hours of driving at highway speeds and rpms over 2600 rpms if thats your driving style or gear ratio both very reliable and strong as a 305 is only a debored 350 so i say preference if 200 hp is plenty for your ride keep a 305 if you want more go with a 350 i personally dont like the tpi engine i find some of its components to be troublesome but i drive 75 k a year

then it will be my personal goal to point in your direction every week and inform everyone why the 3rd gen forum resembles the humpty dumpty day care center.
this thread is a reminder of how insanly stupid some people can be, if this was TGO it would of been deleted right after it was posted. even though i havent owned a 3rd gen in over two years, it depresses me to see such a lovely and fun production car (not to mention engine family) be mangled and raped by a group of horny, drunken baboons, and for that reason alone, this thread deseves to be locked. --

useful_idi0t,
seriously? Fbody.com is better than TGO in that way. this site is more of a place for people to come and BS adn argue over what works and what doesn't. TGO is almost exclusivley a tech site.
my last comment was a joke, i suppose i should have put a "jk" im not gonna bump it anymore. if you have a response put it in a new thread so this can in fact die. we'll continue from there --

rouben,
i knew your comment was a joke, but when people continue to add to the thread that already takes up a ton of bandwidth and knocks more important posts down to the bottom, it becomes a problem that any site should deal with. i understand i just knocked someones post by replying to this, but this doesnt warrant starting a new thread.

Man i dont know what too say. omg the 305 thread is still alive. This thread really is no longer about my opinion, its about what everyone prefers. Most prefer a 350, even i do, but it was real exciting to see how many people enjoyed there peppy 305s. My 305 now lays on the ground (RIP). Then i built a 350 with cam, headers and u know the works. but i enjoyed the hell out of my 305 with the 5sp borg warner trans. -- 1986 Firebird 305,4bbl Edelbrock,w/5sp

Dude, 1hp per cubic inch. Fuck that lets look at honda, or more accurately the 1.8liter integra type-r makes almost 200 horsepower. Thats more than 100 horsepower PER LITER. Thats ummmmmmmm better than what lambo makes. Most certianly better than what most v8's make, cause I don't see your 5.0's making 500 ponies, or your 5.7's making 570... Now Here I am bashing my own care cause I have a 1992 305TBI 5spd. Camaro RS, and I would never ever think I was gonna win against my buddies type-r, and at the very least not run it against my dads GTA 350. Nope not gonna win either of those races with the LO3 V8 I'm packing as of right now.

That wasn't my point but I understand what you're saying. And I understand the fundamentals of racing. And the power to weight ratio is where it's at, but the problem is keeping a balanced weight distribution in our cars while making them lighter for competition purposes.

1.8 has how much torque and when?
HP is just a measurement of torque over time. Torque moves things. Which is more practical stoplight to stoplight when the Honda pulls up next to you?
Also you have to look at how much more conservatively built a third gen V8 is. The 305 that came ORIGINAL in my car has NEVER been opened. It still runs great for what it is and was intended to do.
The V8 engines that have as much technology as the new 4 bangers you compare them to have more than 1hp per cubic inch...
A SBC crate motor in Summit is 355 cubic inch and has 385hp and 405ft/lbs for $2,899.95...
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MLL%2DBP3550CT&autoview=sku
How much torque per cubic inch does a Honda 1.8 have??? (Let's see if you can do the math!!!)
Also, How much HP can you get from the V8 compared to the I4 per dollar when you start modifying it? More power for less money right? --
