for the price of new heads,a cam and all the other crap you want you could go and get a base 350 crate motor from gm and still have more power than your probilly ever going to get out of that poor 305.
And who lets a kid that has never drove a stick before go race there 9 second Bronco,nobody is that good there first time,and well they even let a kid drive something that fast on a track cuase thats just asking for a crash.
i also want to see some vid of this quad,kart and bronco. and why in the hell would you put a turbo on a utilaty quad,and no its not the best ever quad sorry and polaris quads do not do 70mph stock
Ok dude, I dident drive 160mph the first pass i made.. The first actual DRAG pass OFFICAL race, i went 150MPH, And i learned to drive standerd on his bronco. Ill try to get more specs on it, so stop asking me, im working on it. I might be able to film him this weekend if he goes if hegets new slicks. And as for Kart Racing, I could really care less if YOU beleave me or not. Because its really not that big of a deal to race karts at 15 and get paid.[8D]


And YES Polaris 800 sportsman xp IS the BEST Sport utility quad you can buy, And YES It does go 100kph/70mp STOCK. OK smart ***. Dont think you know it all, because clearly you do NOT. Dont tell me whats right and whats wrong when your WRONG. But you are right about the fact a 350 is MUCH better than a 305, but i cant afford a brand new crate engine.... I can get a great cam and set of heads for $400.00 Canadian.

MSRP for a 350/290 is $2600.

Price of a good cam for a 305 is only $100, and $400 for cylinder heads, at least on Summit.

Last time I checked, $2600 > $500

You can claim all you want and no one willbelieve you... Weve heard all this before... the BS stories that are true and you swear by them... then you come out with well i may have been exaggerating about this, and i may have lied about that... Reguardless of what you see in advertisements or read online the people here know what they are talking about.. from experience.. something you dont have...

OK dude your right you know every thing. Just keep reading and wasting money. Its very clear you have nearly no idea what the &$%! you are talking about. I would advise you to contact a mod or admin and ask them to lock this page for you and just forget about it. We are not here to flame you and most of us dont get off like that. But when we hear things like this that most of us have heard many times over it ticks people off. You ask a question you get reply's then you get mad because people are telling you the truth. You keep working on that 305 get a good set of heads, intake manifold, carb, headers, exhaust, and cam. You will not be making 325 horses to even the crank unless you are running some massive track only cam and once again that would be a push for even making that goal at the crank not the wheels. If you realy are looking for a good deal look into used ZZ4's You can find them all day at swap meets and even online. A used one in great condition may run you 2 grand a new one some where in the 3500-4200 range.

As i said before my advice would be to buy a crate engine or a rebuild from a good shop it will make more power and be just as cheap as rebuilding your 305.

Hell i am even willing to help you out. If you dont live too far i have a 350/280 thats been freshed up a bit sitting in the garage with 0 miles on it. All it needs is a intake manifold and carb and she would run like a raped ape.

You can listen to the members on here that have been throw it many many times over or you can find out the hard way thats up too you. But i will tell you some of the members that you say dont know what they are talking about have 3-5 times the wrench time as me and thats probaly about 10,000 times of what you have.

thats why i said COULD. look at ls1l13 (or whatever it is lol). yeah he came out here and blatantly lied, but he has now become a somewhat productive member of the forum. this guy hasnt even lied about anything. he may not know as much about his 305 as u guys do, but he didnt lie about anything
