I've been lied to! It's a 305! Now, just a couple questions.

keep building for horsepower... then when you whine that your truck is a dog down low, i'll laugh at you becuase you dont have enough torque to move a fullsize truck.

I'd like to trade you in for Tim. At least he had something to contribute once in a while.

My 305 (315) makes more torque at 2500 than a stock 305 peaks at. It has a better torque curve than a LS9 350 from the 70s. The problem with 305s is the heads. You have to pick a cam that'll get enough air in the cylinders.

could that be because your wheel speeds are higher, since you're only turning your driveshaft 3.42 times per tire revolution as he is turning 4.10 times? nah, of course not! we all know wheel speed makes you go slower.

Dude, you need to tell your Mom to give you Ginkoba in the morning instead of that tall glass of stupid.

We both run 700R4/NP208s. We both run half ton axles and 33s. His truck is a shortbox and weighs 400lbs less than mine. He has 4.10 gears and I have 3.42 gears. He should ALWAYS beat me. He has better gears for a drag and he's got less weight (better lb/hp). He also has a higher stall torque converter but that doesn't really matter unless it's from a dig. He's even running a Holley and a MSD ignition... I'm running a Quadrajunk and stock HEI.

trust me, i've got alot more knowledge in areas like this than Tim ever will.

actually, the problem with the 305s is not the heads, but the small bore. it shrouds the valves too badly to get any real airflow into the heads. in order to eliminate some of this shrouding, they had to use smaller valves, which in turn, made the entire package worse.

you're absolutely right, the last 15 years of my life i have been doing nothing but tinkering with cars and trucks. i probably dont have a clue what i'm talking about. the associates degree i have in the automotive field probably doesnt mean squat either does it?

and his tires are still turning less per revoltion of the driveshaft... more revolutions of the tire = faster.
