factory motor for an 85 Cutlass is at best a pathetic 307. No 350 was offered.

my old 350 with ported heads, mild cam, 650 carb, headers, and all the other basics got its *** handed by a couple lt1 cars...

I was running low 9s in the 1/8th at its best once I started manually shifting. I was running slower when I was beat (car shifted itself at 4500rpm) but you should still not have ANY trouble with it.
