Best way to make fast 305

no actually i am expecting the block to crack! I expect the forged pistons to last through it all. but then i will just have to lose the money that i spend on them. and i am tired of having discussions with you. you are obviously some little bI t ch spoiled brat rich kid or something along those lines - relatively close any way - and i am tired of arguing with you. when i want to argue with a b i t ch all i have to do is make my wife mad.
so anyway i never said that i want or am trying to blow my motor up only that if it does i will not be surprised or upset because a lot of people have told me to expect it to.
also i think trying to prove that other guys are wrong about the capabilities of something has been the reasoning behind almost every invention since the beginning of time and the discovery of America and the space program... and i could go on and on,
so when you grow up mister self proclaimed college kid, and learn how to have a constructive conversation without the insults and the type of attitude that you are the only one who is right then we can try conversing again but until then i will acknowledger nothing that you write.
thank you and peace out

Hey bro toss the 305 only good thing for a 305 is like a s10 you need CUBES DUDE. 2000 gran will get you what you want in a crate, flat top pistons,64cc chamber performance heads from pro comp, mid grade thunder stick "cam", air gap intake, 600 750 cfm carb and dude that c10 wont know what hit it.. just keep in your head thir is NO sub for cubes..

that is true if you just want as much power as you can get then a bigger motor is better but if you have another agenda then things change.

I don't deny insulting you, but you have proved worthy of it.
Our first couple of discussions were very business-like. Then you thought I had a negative attitude and that I had no comprehension of what horsepower was and then I saw you as just another wannabe on here proclaiming the mystical powers of the Chevy 305, and you still refuse to listen to the nearly dozen people who have told you that they're worthless.
A extremely high-horsepower engine is more chaotic than you think. You don't have much control over what piece is going to break first. Good luck in predicting your own engine's demise...

It is pretty entertaining...
That's why I continue to be in the same arguments with people over and over again about how much potential is locked-away in a 305...

hey what do you think about 190 runners vs 170 i know that 170 a litte faster airflow but the 190 more of it. Kicks in at about around 2000 rpm thats good im sure some say 170 better? maybe for trucks?? but in a camaro i think 190 is better??

The proper induction volume is worthy of many books just in itself...
The proper volume really depends on the engine in question. A big block tow rig would probably want more than 190cc port! For a small block tow rig 170cc would probably be better.

I have a 92 camaro with the 305 I had it bored .30 over 58cc heads put on,stage 2 cam,done away with TBI carb,got a powerplus squrebored intake,cam is by speedpro with 350 balencer.Ive yet to finish.My plains are to go with the 570 street avenger by holley,and MSD street strip dist. with 6A point box and core.Jegs has a combo fuel system for around $600.My problem is whats the best headers for me,and also have a700R4 trans,that should I rebuild and if yes what kit or get a 350 torbo and have it rebuilt witch would be alot cheaper.Also would like to know if it is possible to run dual exhaust on a 92 camaro,if so how?Thanks bobo.

you can run dual exhaust but i don't think you can get 3 inch pipe because both pipes have to come over top of the rear axle in the same spot that the stock pipe comes over it.

Look in the Jegs catalog, or on-line Jegs.com, you can get a complete 350. Look on page 25, you can get a base 350 H.O. that makes 330 horses for 2519.99. (minus intake and carb/ignition) If you really wanna get cheap, the GM goodwrench engine is 1479.99. (minus intake, carb, and ignition) remember, the 305 and 350 are dimensionally the same, your intake and ignition stuff will fit. In fact, you can get that engine in 3 different configs, ranging from the base $1419 to $2267.99 with induction components. You can't build it for that!

The only reason i'd look at a 305 would be for it's crankshaft. The 305 shares the 350's 3.48 stroke. Why would anyone spend $2000 on a small displacement, less capable engine is beyond me, unless it's part of a concourse resto, and/or they want to avoid computer issues. I would say given the same amount of money spent on both engines, you will get more torque and H.P. per your $$$ with the 350. If you have no money, and wanna "build as you go", thats one thing. But if i had $2500, and no engine building skills/tools, i would have a 350 crate sitting in the garage. Real life example: I rebuilt the 305 in my wife's work truck, a 1991 1500. I tried to turn her on to the 350 crate. The cheaper base crate. I had over $1500 in this thing with parts and machine work, and my labor. Even she admitted it was a big mistake. She lugs a 250 gallon water tank around, and wishes she had the 350. You could call a 350 a 305, and nobody could tell the diff. They are dimensionally the same block. Plus, if you want to use good heads in the future, those bigger valves may be a problem. Thats why 305s don't even have 1.94 valves, which are entry level on a 350. They have those puny 1.710 i believe.

The 305 crank counterweights are lighter because of the smaller pistons,but I agree there's nothing wrong with a mild combo in a lighter vehicle for a 305.For the same money you get more with a 350 as most people know,again 305's were designed for emissions and better mileage it's easier to burn the fuel with a smaller chamber and bore referring to spark travel.High rpm power potential is going to limited.Most of this has been repeated more than it should have been.Thanx for your time and this concludes my version of a editorial on this subject.

We need to know your plans,vehicle etc...I would get the intake and either have your Q-jet rebuilt for your planned engine combo or performer carb.I personally favor performers some will say different.Both of these carbs would be great for a mild street engine.500-600cfm max WIEDER
