I don't know about the rest of ya'll but my 2.8 can hang in their with my 305 and I can beat almost all v6 cars in my area, with a few v8's. I like picking on 5.0 fox body's, I beat them on acceleration lol. My 2.8 was rebuilt stock a few years back if that helps any.

the 2.8 will keep up with a 305 but not beat it unless the driver of the 305 is really bad
the 3.1 and 3.4 will nose out a 305 car in a drag race, its not much but it will still go faster

a good condition 2.8 with a good driver will run around a 16.8-17.3
a good stock 3.1 should go low low 16's
3.4's should go right into the 15's

v6 cars with 5 speeds and a great driver should go a bit faster then those times

i have a 2.8 and i raced my brothers 305, the 2.8 will not keep up, they get the same launch off the line and then the 305 runs on the 2.8 from there on.
specs 1989 camaro rs 305 tbi 2.73 open rear auto
1988 camaro sport coupe 2.8 mpfi 3.43 rear auto

and now i have a 305 tpi formula and it can run circles around both of those cars even when i had the old 2.73 gears in it, so when you guys talk about keeping up with 305's you should be referring to the tbi cars because the tpi cars are a whole different story, my tuned port 305 holds up equally with the gm 290/350 crate engine carbed

My Auto 3.1L stock camaro would keep up with stock 305TBI camaro up till the 1/8 mile at the track then the V8 would pull ahead but not too much. Just a good .3-.5 in the quartermile, not much IMO for a V6 vs V8 in the same exact car.

There's my problem. My 2.8 is shitty, and runs a 17.3 with a 260H cam, some head porting and 1.6 RRs. It's the same motor in the OPs details.

u either need the driver mod,or ur engine is just worn the hell out.

either that or u have a a couple extra hundred pounds of wieght in the car

180k mile motor. I'm pulling 2.5 60FTs, leaving on last yellow. My trans is worn out as well.

octkkk

I underestimated my 1983 stock 305, it had some kick, it took out a 2004 acura TL v6 and a 2008 Mustang(only a v6). And held neck and neck to a newer 350Z at a stoplight

project89

iTrader: (1)

yeah that could be ur problem right there.

time for a 3.4 swap and a new trans

octkkk

your engines sideways

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Yeah. Its got a rod knock now. Probably will do a 3.4/T-5 swap. I'm not going for big power, just some fun and good mileage. Mercedes is the racecar.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

My stock 60ft times were from 2.3-2.35 just to add. I think your engines just tired. Have any idea the elevation of where you live??

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

I'm pretty close to sea level, probably a few feet above here in Orlando. The motor is tired no doubt, I know it has some ignition issues as well, it barely idles if it does at all. I believe there is a vacuum leak somewhere.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

Ahh ya a vac leak and a just plain old tired motor will be a little weak at the track. Time for a fresh one!!

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

That's what I'm thinking. Going for 3.4/T-5, I also have a 60mm with a 1.15 hot side and .60 cold side I'm thinking of slapping to it.

fasteddi

iTrader: (2)

Yes a turboed 3.4L would be awsome!!!! Watch that t-5 trans though. Make sure you have a better then stock clutch, or it will be tost in no time.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Yeah, I would keep it stock. I've considered a G-Force T-5, or adapting a TKO to it. 400HP reliable daily is really what I want. Nothing more. I'm doing a LSx conversion into my Mercedes, so that thing will be the race car. Unless I decide to sell it and get something else. I've had my eye on a Ferrari 308 GTS, 80's 911 Turbo, or a R32 GTR.

This This This
Yea I know there mainly stock cars but Ls1's and Lt1s. Just had to add. Keep in mind my cars a budget build. Much more to come next spring as I have a few tricks in store for the car....

Im not dissapointed making a best of 13.31 this year but also know the car had much more in it exspecially at the end when I could trap 107Mph pull a 2.2-3 60ft time...LMAO and make a 13 sec pass.

Can anyone say my trans/converter just plain old suxs along with the open rear end..

But back to the main title of the thread ya a stocker is slow and its a shame that more ppl dont wake up there V6 as I knocked off 4 seconds basically in my time from last year at this time. Thats better and theres more to be had im sure.

watch it with how high you get your nose up in the air. some bird is going to crap on it.

And really is this where you stand. you realize that you own just a little thirdgen and with the way cars are now you have nobody else to pick on but your own v6 brothers.
Kinda sad.

Long distance like coast to coast, you'll beat alot of cars. The bigger engines require more stopping for gas along the way.
Talk to fasteddi his v6 is fast and I'm sure he's beat on some "respectable "cars quite often.

Always some argument like that. In that case get a hawnduhh 4 banger. Or tayotaa. Because muscle cars and fuel mileage are crucial, lol. Seen v8s get over 26 mpg, good enough.
