He rolls the window down and is like nice whats that got in it im like 305 and he had this funny look on his face and said REALLY and then i asked him what he had and he said it was bone stock and it was auto

No way unless the 4th gen was running bad. I have seen built 305's and the best I have seen them run were in the 14.7 range. They were also 3.73- 4.11 gears. Headers, head work, bigger cam. The 305 just doesn't deliver the torque in the mid range, unless you are spraying.

You only lost by 3 car lengths to a LS1. The LT1 should have waxed your ass by 3 easy lengths.

Well if the guy with the A4 doesn't know how to run it from a role then I can see that. He prolly punched it in OD after you already hit it that explains why you imediately got a jump. However why he didn't gain on you shows that you do have a good set up with that 305. For a stock z28 with a guy that can't drive i can see that happinin.

Nice run on the LT1.....better luck next time on the LS1.

i turned a 14.6 with the car running bad and spinning hard off the line. But that was last summer, since then ive done minor things and got the car running better. Also just the other day my buddy tuned the car on a chassis dyno and got the power curve alot smoother than it was, and gained 25 rwhp just by tuning timing and fuel. I plan to spray a 100 shot this summer, and hopefully go around 13.0 hopefulley better.

I absolutly don't buy that you beat a LT1 with a 92' and lost to the LS1 buy that short a distance.
I mean the 5.0 stock has like 140rwhp and ur mods thats a with my mods I lost by 1 1/2 at
110mph to a modded LS1..doesn't sound right to me.

Ok I caught a 92 RS at the light today and I didn't realy feel like racin but he reved and looked like he wanted to go. He did one of those lunging forward type things at the light. So I decided to see what would happen if I let him jump then hit it and see if I catch him. Well it was rediculous. After I let him get a good half to 1 car length on the jump by lightly starting out on the gas I started to get on it and passed him with eas. Maybee he didn't have many mods but it wasn't realy that much of a race if ya ask me.

I have a 1991 RS. In high school with stock heads/block and an aftermarket cam, with other mods, I ran a 14.7.

Later I went with Vortec heads and a Demon carb. The best I ran on a Gtech was 14.1 with a stock stall, 3.23's and a lot of wheelspin.

I would say that if I did the suspension, and got a stall, 13.8's easy, maybe better.

I also sold a 1984 Z with a rebuilt L69 in it, and ran a 14.42. Stock heads and a really mild cam. In this car I got beat by a 97WS6 TA by about 4 lengths.( street)

The old 305 debate is dumb.

There is a guy with the username Tom84L69 over at thirdgen.org who runs 13.1's on a modded N/A L69 car.
They can go pretty quick, you just have to know how to get some power out of them. It is possible to get about 350hp at the crank with one if you get some really nice heads and a wild cam.

It's really not worth it though, I pulled that 305 out and just put a 355 in it's place. Should be between 430-460hp N/A.

Good kill though bro! When they see those RS badges, usually people always think it's a joke!!!

Most people think cause it says rs its a junk 305 tbi (which most of them are) that are stock with exhaust . Some of you guys beleve me some of u dont i know my cars not the fastest but for a 305 it kicks ass and i put alot of time and work in it i redid the 305 cause it was different and i just love the look on the people faces when i say its a 305 . I built the whole motor from the ground up so if you beleve me about beatin a lt1 fine if u dont o well my car at the crank is about the same hp as a stock lt1 with the mods i have

I believe the 13.4 with the Z 28. Sorry just don't buy the 305 story. Like I said before the LT1 you beat was not running right.

a 305 with heavy mods wouldn't beat a LT1, mabe it would run close but no way in hell would
it beat a LT1.. You have a LT1 which is why I don't understand. you really have nothing done to it
and a fbody 3.8 would run in the same ballpark with a 305 so I seriously think that that could have been a V6 u raced with badges, or he was racing with 5 cylinders...305's are dogs even with mods
unless of course u drop a s!t load of cash in it.

the lt1 was running fine. at least it sounded right at idle, the car had stock exaust so it was kinda hard to hear it beings we were in front of him and the rs is loud. I think you guys cant exept the fact that a 305 TBI could hang with your LT1's, sorry but truth hurts

think about it 225rwhp vs 250rwhp for the LT1 and a unbelieveable TQ difference, and you think you
could beat a healthy LT1 honestly doesn't add up. You loose in every category VS the LT1
and weighs bout the same.. and a 305 nearly stock can't "NO WAY IN HELL HANG WITH A LT1" on any
planet..and stock the 305 has like no more then 175rwhp and with ur mods where do you get 225rwhp?

lol. Quit arguing guys. The LT1 isn't trash. TBI isn't trash, either, but it's no TPI 305. Modded 305 vs LT1...LT1 should still win, but in races, anything can happen.

What did you run in the 1/4? 3.23 gearing/exhaust/bigger carb/heads/LT4 cam. You are just now getting up to the LT1 power. I understand you getting frusterated at the LT1 guys not believing this, but I'd like to see your car run in the 13's without slicks.

I think 3rd gens are very inconsistant. When my brothers car was a 305tbi with just a magnaflow catback he beat every stock tpi 305 he raced. Some would pass him on the top end though. 100+ range

jimboob- How is my formula turning a 13.94 a turd.
I guess you are saying that all LT1's are turds that run in the high 13's.
To bad you wrecked your 96 LT1 otherwise we could race and I would show you how superior a automatic is and my taillights
You better stay with your puny 305, apparently your 96 LT1 is way to much power for you
Form the way you act I would say everyone on this board is out of your league. (yes I spelled LEAGUE correctly) I know my cars are way out of your league. :

"14.6 with lots of wheel spin on a hot and humid day with the car running bad"

That's not bad, assuming you aren't lying. (not saying you are) What did you trap at? If you trapped anywhere around 100...from 98 - 101, I think it was possible that you ran with an LT1...maybe not killed it, but could have been a close race. As far as the LS1...they are way out of the LT1 league. They rape LT1's from a roll...I've been there, seen it. LS1 = far superior stock vs stock.

dude the 305 TBI is one of the shityiest engines chevy ever put in an F-body. No offence but that thing blows in stock form. And modding it is almost worthless. I belive its 170hp for a 5.0L? What a peice of shit.

I have owned a 91 rs 91 z-28 both with 305s but the z had tpi and wow what a difference. The Z had minor mods and could only muster a 9.9. The lt1 trans am I have before mods ran a 9.3. 2 weeks ago I was at the 1/8 track raced a 89 rs with DRs and other small mods I ran 8.9 to his 10.2..... Morale of the story 305s= slow even with mods ( I made the dumbazz in his 305 look dumb after he smoked up his DRs and got smoked by over a second....)

I am kind of curious as to whether or not a stock bottom end 5.0 TBI motor can go 13's or even low 14's NA. I figure it'd need heads and cam and probably a carb, but could it be done with the stock bottom end? Just curious because my brother just got a 1988 Firebird Formula and we are looking for the cheapest way to go 13's NA. I think a heads/cam setup on the 305 would be cheaper than building a 350 (even though the 350 would be faster).

Yah, there are some on thirdgen.org running mid 12's NA, but 99% of those guys put on carbs for the TBIs. Personally Im ripping mine out and throwing in an EFI 355. BTW, why does everyone rip on the 305 TBI when it is rated about 30 hp over the carbed 305

Pretty much not all 305's are bad.

Im not saying my car is fast but i have beat a 1996 z28 lt1 auto. but i will agree that the tbi is not the greatest engine.

And the only mods i have are
305 TPI
ram air intake:super chip: msd coil and box: headers/ flowmaster: ported intake: ported plenium: high flow runners: 52mm throttle body: 3.73 gears..

RSM,

I worked in a machine shop for 12 years. The parts for a 305 cost about the same as a 350, sometimes a little more...A h/c setup on one would cost about the same as an equivalent 350 setup, but would def. be slower.

Cheapest way to go 13's in a 3rd gen (TPI) would be to give it a hotcam and a different intake manifold. TBI's...maybe a similar cam, slicks, stall, and pull some dead weight out of the car. But it is way easier and cheaper to do it with a 350 than a 305.

I don't see how it would be cheaper to buy a whole new motor (350) over just a heads and cam for the 305. I do realize that the 350 will always be faster than a similar setup 305, but our only goal is 13's. That's why I'm wondering if it would be possible to do it with a heads/cam/carb 305. The motor in the car only has 20K on it, so I'm sure it will hold up to a setup like that. If I was looking to totally rebuild it, then I'd definitally say go with the 350, but the bottom end is there already.
