banginAltima Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Before you go the cam route start with the basics... 1. Intake (which you already got) 2. Headers ( equal length gives more torque which is what you want on the street) 3. a carb spacer (one inch four hole, going from no spacer to an open spacer gained me one tenth. But going from a open spacer to a four hole was a tenth and a half. So I gained 2.5 tenths from a 35 dollar spacer). 4. bump your timing up by 2 to 4 degrees 5. Carb jetting will gain good hp and mpg Doing all of this I went from 14.7 to 14 seconds in the quarter. Once you do all that, then its time for a set of heads, then cam.

DHFHades Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 cam and headers and you could probably get another 50hp (depending on the cam) but you should just get a 350, or sell the whole car and buy a Mopar Quote 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Pioneer DEH-P2900MP, Big 3 done in 1/0, 1 run 1/0 ran to amp DAT HF1000.1 #007 powering a DC lvl4 15 DAT HR 4085 prototype powering 2 Selenium 6s and 2 no name tweeters running active 1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest. rebuild coming soon to get a better score "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.

banginAltima Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 what do you mean by carb jetting i know how a carb works i have just never changed parts on one when i slam it to the floor from a dead stop it stumbles or backfires and its a completely new Holley 600 cfm carb with no adjustment There are adjustments... idle/air, jetting, squirter, vac secondary Carb jetting = the "jets" inside the carb controls the amount of fuel used. Holley's are normally fat right out of the box (meaning to rich, to much fuel). The stumble or backfire is from the squirter curcuit. I would tell you to look up all the carb tuning you can.

loburbon Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 holleys have jets that you change. they have primary's and secondary's. also it looks to be a vacuam secondary card, you can change the diapraghm in the accelerator pump housing. you can fit full length headers on there but ground clearence is an issue. bein a 305 the bore is small so by putting a larger cc head on there hurts you more then helps you. you lose compression. thats a good thing if your going to force feed the motor with massive amounts of air. but if your going to keep it n/a then you dont want to lower the compression Quote 2000 gmc yukon 4 sundown Zv3 15's 4 dd m2a's kenwood kdc-x994 2 batcap 4000's 1 batcap 2000 dual alts. 154@37hz and climbing http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231683 http://www.myspace.com/torque150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also help your stumbling issue. Quote If you build it, db's will come... NSPL World Record Holder Trunk 0-1800 watts---147.9 with 1722 clamped watts @ 40Hz(9-20-09).
