I don't doubt that's a TA. I am doubting that we've heard all the mods that the 305 has.

I remember about 7 years ago, a guy won an award for best engineered car. It was in Car Craft. He had a 10 second 3rd gen firebird with a 305.
Also, in the last small block engine masters challenge (PHR), the guy in 3rd did it with a 307, which I don't think is too far off Bore and Stroke Wise. I forget.
305's are a small block chevy with the same stroke as a 350 and smaller bore. I really feel that the main thing holding the old TPI engines was the intake track. The HSR is pretty bad assed. I love the design, almost a straight shot to the head.
Now, I don't know if this guy is BSing us, but I am sure there are 305's that can run.
I would still build a 350. It's slightly cheaper for more cu. But it would be fun to beat up on LS1's and others with a 305. Some people would just get their feelings hurt.

Nice job hiding it.![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
Street racing can get you some parts if you win and the other guy thought he would win (easily).
Nice ride Zepher and it looks like it can handle autox as well.
So tell...

I think it's a horrible job hiding it .... there is a plate right there, it even has the tell tale blue and red connectors for fuel and nitrous ....
Maybe the plumbing is hidden, but what does that matter when the plate, jets, and connectors are so obvious?

I am still thoroughly confused as to how this happened.
I mean if that is nitrous, then sure its totally feasible he could outrun the stock LS1. But I thought the point was that he said he didn't spray. I dunno.
Well if that's the truth, and you outran that LS1 with Nitrous, Zepher, let me be the first to apologize for being completely confused. good run man.

Those pics of the old TPI setup have the Nos plate, the Holley Stealth Ram I have on there now doesn't have the plate since there is no space under the plenum for the plate to the solenoid lines..
here is another shot of the current motor so you can see that there is no plate on the intake,

so then you have it running behind your fuel rails, or mixed w/ fuel prior to a top/down visible place?
or were you really sneaky and covered it with standard rubber hose?

ok I was there taking the vid and yes he has a stock 305 in the car with alot of miles. b the other car is a LS1 with stright pipes and a 75 shot. So if he does have nitrous so did the other car. Just look at the pics and give some respect to the thirsd gen.................
