Yeah, Save it for the 600hp civics that write fake ls1 kill stories. Those seem to get more respect.
At least its an f body, the predecessor to the car this board builds shrines to.
If I was an LS1 owner I would be proud my car was such a benchmark by which other v8s measured themselves.

Im not trying to impose here but why is everyone bashing him so bad.hp is not everything in a drag race.looking at his suspensiun and drivetrain it looks like he has a good setup.have you ran the #s on the block to make sure its a 305.ive seen a few guys put the 350tbi truck engine in those cars.some of those were rated at 230hp others 200.i myself have seen some quick 305s.more slow than fast.I was never impessed with lt1s but thats my opinion

And ALL TBI's were, and still are dogs. Those 350 TBIs were just as gutless as the 305s.
Sure, some may have seen or heard of a strong 305, but not a single one was TBI. They were TPI or carbed cars, with strong being a relative term here
I HIGHLY suggest the original poster take a look over on www.thirdgen.org and see just what a TBI is NOT capable of...

I swaped in a tko 600 into it and were guessing he has 3.23 gears... i'm not sure and since the owner doesn't know **** about his car he couldn't tell you... It's been lowered to. The 302 in it only has 90000k on it to so its not tired by anymeans... Thanks again for backing me up.... And when i raced him i had a bad clutch master cylinder... Its fixed now so if you think i could slam gears in that vid than a ya....
