This is a survivor car. It's stock and complete. So I just don't want to break it up. I'm not racing it. I would be just as happy if it had a 6cyl if it was this complete.You will maximize your gains with the 350.
Why stick any time into money into a 305,"just to see" only to be disappointed.
Plus if you ever sell it, the tpi 350 will be far more desirable.
I would buy a tpi, holley ecu'ed 350 camaro.
I would not bother for a second with a tbi 305, with headers,
I'll be the old dude at the cruise in with the original and complete 89 RS. I have another car if/when I want to start going nuts. The little extras are just for something to tinker with. I guess tuning it is the same. Just something to play with.
If I was going for a power build, it would be a LS swap. No questions. That has actually been my plan for the 84 Monte I sold. Turbo 5.3 and a 6 speed. But life.... Add that to the fact I don't go racing every weekend. And I have other interests and kids. I'm just not interested in going that route right now and probably never with this car.
I know it's nothing special and it doesn't add value. But it's not really about that either. My kids will have to decide what to do with this car one day and it won't be my problem then.
Where are my white new balance and cargo shorts?
