I had a '86 TA with a 305 in it. It was the biggest hunk of **** ever. Of course I was only 16yo so I thought it was nice. Mid 15's at best.

Which obviously has worked.

I watched the vid and must say that the LS1 was reeling you in very very hard.
I dont think Zephyr is spraying. I believe that he just got the jump because the LS1 was spinning. You can hear the LS1 spinning in the video. I would like to see the whole vid.

Talking

My grandma could beat a stock TPI 305 driving an Ls1. If the 305 sprayed a 150 shot, Grandma would STILL win. If you have hidden nitrous before that high rise ram setup would make it awfully easy to plumb direct port nozzles from the BOTTOM of the intake. Drill holes for the N2O lines through the back of the oil valley and only the experts will find it, and it will take them a couple of hours. I saw this setup on a Monte Carlo wiith a forged 305 err (383) that looked EXACTLY as the 305 looked stock. 10 second car on radials Yeah, that car made more than a few dollars.

Yes, this was a joke thread.
Get the video again, I just uploaded the longer one.
My car ran a 15.2 @ 90mph before I put the HSR on the motor. Had the NOS plate but never sprayed the car and there is no Nitrous on the car now.

power nothing
no options
former government car.
I was lucky it had a radio and air conditioning.

I used to think it was fast from 0-30. Now I can't even tell if the TA is fast from 0-30 because by the time I think to look at the speedo I'm already over 50. hah
