RE: 305 vs 3.8

99 camaro sport coupe 3.8
horsepower rating of 200 @ 5200
torque rating of 225 @ 4000

91 camaro rs 305 TBI
engine with a horsepower rating of 170 @ 4000
torque rating of 255 @ 2400

I couldnt find anything out about weight
but I think it would be a pretty close match up.

My freind had a 84 Z28 with the 350 and some mods and claim'd he was over 400 HP & trq.

well he's full of ****

The 350's have lots of potential, however it is an older car and it will have more parasitic power loss as it ages...

3.8 > 305 for sure tho w/ my personal experience
