1/4 mile time?
 

alright so i got an 89 camaro 305 with the tbi, its got 2 1/2" flowmaster exhaust, open element air filter, lt1 roller cam, 3.42 posi, chip, ratchet shifter, msd street performance exhaust, and a few other litle things, what do you think it would run in the quarter mile?

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

mid 14s or if your lucky high 13s, but thats just a guess. i really couldnt tell you.

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

yeah thats what im thinkin

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

yeah i didnt wanna go too overboard, but the 305s arent that fast of an engine. i had one and it was pretty slow. droping in a 383 soon though. take my advise and get a different motor if you want more power.

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

high 13s seems a little hopeful.what were those things from the factory? high 14s on a good day... maybe? i know that the ford 302 was a high 14 car in the lighter foxbody, and that it was more powerful than the 305. you do have a new cam in there but its not big.

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

You got a 15 second car.Until you run it and really find out what you have, all you have are guesses and that is a 15 sec car.

my 305 came with a whooping 160 hp and 200 somethin tq. but i gave it some goodies and it might have around 180 or190 hp.

no its gotta be faster then 15 im thinkin mid to low 14's. with that cam and the 3.42 rear its a peppy car. the lt1 cam is MUCH bigger then the lo3 cam. and the 3.42s are much faster then the stock 2.73s

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

Keep a "thinkin"....No way it is a mid 14 car you have nothing but a peppy slow car.

RE: 1/4 mile time?
 

the 305 tbi doesnt respond to a cam in the same way an lt1 or ls1 does. and the lt1 cam may be much bigger, but its still not that big, and running in a smaller cube motor with inferior head design. Im still going with high 14s to be nice
