I really want to call this guy out on this because im pretty sure it aint no 350.. Let me know |
You can't tell the 305ci blocks from the 350ci blocks just by looking at them. If his Camaro is a RS with a V8, then it's a 305ci. If it's a Z28 with a 5spd, it's a 305ci. If it's a Z28 with t-tops, it's a 305ci.
FWIW, my dad has a '89 GTA with an L98 350ci, and that car is dog-slow. I had a '02 VW GTI 1.8T with nothing more than a chip and I'd rape that car.
Don't even waste your time or gas racing 3rd Gen F-Bodies unless they have a decent amount of work done to them. The 305s and 350s are just "chokers." Now, get a few bolt-ons like headers, CAI, intake runners, and a throttlebody, and they may cause you a few headaches if you run don't run faster than a low/mid-14 second 1/4 mile.
