This thing was too funny most ppl dont know what I raced they think I beat a zr1 vette or something. Most of all the cars I raced was 14s cars with good drivers. 02 gt lol they slow just like the 305. Rt charger they are cl9ser to 15 in the 1/4 mile. I guess ppl hear 305, raced, and won 2gether and just don't believe it. When its not a stock 305.

WOW!! This thread is still going. Let me add a couple cents to it. Way back when, during the '94-'95 school year at Linn State Technical college here in MO, I raced a G92 optioned 305/5spd '92 Firebird. This car also had every bolt on that was available at the time-runners, plenum, pulleys, chip, k&n filter. Mommy and daddy had money. Him and his friends were from St. Clair,MO. He went to school there at Linn too, so we both new each other's cars. I rode in his car prior to our race. After that ride, I was like, I'm going to get my a$$ handed to me. My car was an '80 regal with a 355, 462 heads, performer intake, a q-jet, th350, a peg-leg 3.42 rear and 195/70-14 tires. We set up a day to race, we raced and well, my butt-o-meter was way off, cos it wasn't even a race. Ok, it was a bit of a race till I hit 2nd then it was all over. With that being said, either the guys the OP was racing really did not know what they were doing or they were sandbagging. Either way, his car can't hang with any of them in a legit race, especially being a 5.0 auto with 3.27 gears.

I'd love to see a bolt on 305 hang with my car. I'd sell it the next day, and buy another iroc.

You wanna see a turbo 305 annihilate your car...?

Slayerx666

Ugh I'd love to, that would be a sweet car to see.

Slayerx666

How much does a turbo 305 make? How much can your bottom end support?

kmcn47

read his build thread, its real, this thread isnt real. none of this is real, its all the matrix, also lethal's car can beat my cars *** anyday

Slayerx666

Haha I believe him, sounds like a cool car. This thread is a joke.

I would have no problem trying that 305 with my 6 liter.

I just want to see a currently running 305 turbo car race anyone, I hear a lot of talk but talk is just that! Anybody ever seen an impressive time/HPnumber/kill? NOPE

someone is bound to have a camera phone for pics/vids right?

I'm not posting this because I'm doing a "complete reversal" and saying 305's are good now. BUT, with intelligent design its possible to BUILD a fast 305. The price to performance doesn't make sense unless you are limited to a 5.0L displacement class.

Excellence in Engineering makes all things possible. Others have done it, but here's an honest to god Magazine article.

Preston Smiths Turbo Iroc. There are threads here where the parts used are detailed. Just search the boards.

http://thirdgenfbody.wordpress.com/2...ance-may-1998/

However, the crap that has been spewed in this thread about stock, or very near stock 305's destroying cars known to be faster than L98's? And the "mythical build" by Sojer and the like? Crap.

No such thing as a factory freak hear that one a lot on the web. No auto worker decided to stop the line port the heads or do something special. hard to when youre drunk lol

preston smith's turbo iroc uses a 3" stroke, 4.020" bore combo to go 9's. his true small bore 305 was only barely into the 10's. fwiw

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (2)

No matter how you look at it the five bolt pattern for the clamping ability on a 305 it's very very capable of holding large amounts of boost

Sojer

Nufftuff with the blue 87 iroc he had a 700+hp 305 with a supercharger.

kmcn47

yeah and that 305 only had two blow head gaskets block damage and a ****ed #1 cylinder with all that power. and i don't recall ever seeing a dyno sheet or power # from that engine. also since about a year after hes owned it its had a 355, actually no, most of that time it didn't have any engine because he damn near had the whole car totally rebuilt https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tpi/...ged-tpi-w.html

kmcn47

hes also running over 20 lbs of boost. which will make any motor have high hp while it lasts

Sojer

350 and 305 of resent years are the same strength. Head gasket also dont matter the bore size its by material

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

LOL

First you were saying that it was a 305 with a supercharger making 700hp, now that you were told that engine blew up a long time ago and he's running with a 355, you change the subject.

cuisinartvette

Recent yrs they quit making them many years ago.
Ugh

sailtexas186548

iTrader: (2)

they did make them up to 1999 or later, you know 15 years ago

kmcn47

this whole f*cking thread

Sojer

You guys are retarded no subject was charged he was stating the 305 couldn't handle the power but it was a head gasket failure.

And when I said resent years I meant resent years or the 1st gen sbc life yes I know its over 20 years old but I didn't think I had to explain that to a bunch of ppl who knows sbc but thats what I get for assuming

Sojer FTMFW!!!!! Oh and it's "Nuffnuff", not "nufftuff"

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

And it's "recent", as in you've made a recent post in this thread. NOT "resent", as in I resent you for being such a troll.

kmcn47

resent years sounds like a bad coming of age teen film

kmcn47

no, sojer never wins

Gotta watch out for those factory freaks.

Careful bro, 305's are solid 9 second cars on the interwebz

Street Lethal

Would definitely be a good race at the boost pressure I am running, as your car hauls @ss. Mine runs/drives is registered/insured and is street legal, ready to go. Would have to find some happy medium though because of the distance (furthest I can swing is MIR), but hellz yeah, I'll run you, I'll run anyone. That's why I built it...

sailtexas186548

iTrader: (2)

that's what I hear !!!

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooo!!! VIDS! How much boost? any numbers yet?

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

She's now tuned for over 20 pounds of boost. The vids I have are for my build thread; idle, walkaround, and street pull compilations. Raceway Park doesn't open until March, unfortunately. Your a turbo guy like me texas, so you should know that we don't need a dyno to tell us how much power we're making, we know by how much fuel we're burning, and at 20 pounds of boost, I use enough fuel to support six to the wheels...

sailtexas186548

iTrader: (2)

Track numbers are all that count unless your actually racing! I used a ton of fuel, afrs were good, timing was good, but I was at 13.6@100 or something crappy LOL. Plus it's hard (and no fun) to race data logs!

What fuel pump/line/injector setup did you end up with? (sorry if I missed it in your build thread)

Everyone knows they are 9 second cars--distance is the variable, how many feet can they travel in 9 seconds...

Dude, it's been years since I read your post and watched that video. Yet to this day, when I'm doing something mundane like clipping my toe nails; that damn song STILL pops in my head! It's been stuck in my head for the last 2 days lol. At 1:20 the video gets freaking hilarious. I have no idea why I'm posting this, just felt like saying lol.

As far as 305's go; mine is decently modified and it's still not quick. It has just enough low end torque to get you excited and then it just drops on it's face. TPI just doesn't have anything over 3500RPM. That's why I'm swapping in an ls1.

Street Lethal

iTrader: (16)

Oh my goodness, I almost forgot about that video lol...

It honesty depends on what you do to it. My 305-TPI pulls way over 6000-RPM.

Alice89

iTrader: (6)

Yea that video is something else lol.

From what I've read if you siamese the TPI runners it will pull way higher. I'm sure if I went all out my 305 could get some decent power; I would just rather put the $ into a 350 sbc or ls1.

I see that you get great power out of your tpi 305; you have my respect man. Its hard to make these engines go without basically replacing everything lol.

305's ARE SLOW! , but, if you can drive, & they can't. .... you can &Will beat a lot of car's that you wouldn't in any other situation!
I spent ten years trying to get my friend MY-92-RS, TO listen & then came the call! I built him a 377 sbc. That he beat on for three seasons, beating everything from thirdgen to Z06's, including one he really loved beating (those EVO kids, LOL!)
Then he blew it up & has missed it as well as regretted not listening to me on how to care for what he had!
He's made a decent come back and is working on a new 383, that I planned out, sourced parts for, but he's listening better now and also working towards the other changes that i've told him he needs.

OMG thought this one would be dead by now.

rb85TA

Probably should be, but for a lack of anything else....here it still is

hey nowhere fast a fellow strong islander here how is the street racing up there or has it died off I moved about 10 years ago to fla I miss it some times.

Must have something wrong with it then. My 350 would pull all the way to the fuel kill at 6,000 rpm and bounce off it easily and that was in 3rd gear in a G20 van.

Alice89

iTrader: (6)

When I still had it I could rev it to 5,500 just fine. Its just didn't pull that hard above 3500.
