I was driving on the highway and a C5 Z06 wanted to race. At the end I was pushing slightly past 5,500rpm. The guages bounce a lot at that speed so I don't know exactly how fast or what rpm it was. But I'm not sure I have a limiter in the car. What would the max rpm you can take a stock 305 TPI too.

depending on what yr. it is I took my 92 to right around 6000 if I remember right, but then that was a few beers ago

they will rev pretty high but your max power will probably be around 5,000 or so,i can't remember exactly,so i would not rev over 5500-5600.

Unless you have a rev limiter (MSD 6AL - I've included a pic) in that car, no you wouldn't have a limiter in the car....

I googled it, but can't find anything.....I will agree w/ slow trap in what he said though....

Its a 86. Stock distributor and coil. Yea I can tell the power srops off pretty severe but with a light car its not that bad. The worst part is the gearing. Its totally mis matched for that engine. 5 speed. First gear is useless it will shatter if i use it on full throttle. So I end up with a 4 speed that maxes out at about 125-130.

If you want, I can give you an ebay (power)seller's username. I bought a billet distributor w/ a 50k volt coil, bronze terminals (the seller, who really a parts store claims it's a 65k volt coil) for under 90$ shipped (and it's all brand new!!!)

Will that new ignition make any diffence in power or just give me a revlimiter.

our old 305 has seen 6k a few times and she held together fine

As far as that distributor, it won't "give" you a rev limiter (you'd have to buy a MSD 6AL (or the like)) but it'll give you a lil more firepower - wouldn't really need it unless you started moddin other parts (for you application, the stock hei should be fine)

I used to have a 035 TPI in my 91 Camaro and a 5 speed same as yours. If you have a stock cam and the red line is at 5 then dont go bast 5,500...maybe even before it, cus after that its been my experience that your not making power, just over reving. But a stock 350 TPI cam will give you another 500 on the red, which was an option (G92 I believe). Other than that just stick to bolt ons, and if you really want a rev limiter, which i dont think you need unless your not that good at controlling stick, then get that MSD above, its good **** for like $350 or so.

wow you must get awsome gas mileage

6000rpm is probalby max but stock TPI's are done for by 4500rpm in 305's 4200 in L98's

Mine would valve float at 5500RPM so that's where I shifted it. 150hp NX kit mixed with valvefloat will melt a couple plugs here and there.
