305 TPI Times?
What do you guys think a 305 TPI with full exhaust, Hot cam, rockers, Valve springs,TB , full racing tranny (Auto 
) and a LSD would run? 13's?

No, not 13s.
Depends on lots of things though; gears, tires, stall speed, etc. would all factor in moving you up or down in the 14s range. Just my opinion.

I don't see why it wouldn't, unless you have some tuning/combo problems. Just get traction and your good.
My cam is nowhere near the size of a hotcam, and I still have stock rockers among a bunch of other stock items. It's really hard to tell, actually.
I've seen "modded" 305s turn some ****ty times but I've also seen some extremely mild ones turn high 13's

hot cam puts your power way above TPI range especially on 305. A smaller cam would serve you better. hot cam probly would need serious tunning to help it run good. My guess is low 14's if you use all that torque off the line and cut a good 60' time.
