Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

I've seen Intake/Exhaust LS1's go 12s. Hell, guy I know with 2.73's an intake/exhaust went 12.9x @ 107 or 109mph.

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

Over 750 post later. This thing went from 305 to 350 lsx 4 and 6cyl N/A to power adders. I don't even have a 305 no more lol. If u guys want to know the god honest truth about the races? Wht I said was 100% true did not make any of it up. It was a reman long block. All the hate I feed off of keep it up.

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

Why would I came from a 16 sec car it wasn't stock 305 to start and it was a new 305 not one from 87. Ime 100% sure it was faster than that if they came faster than that stock and mine had a bigger than stock cam in it. And I have a vid of me spanking a M6 LT1 camaro that jumped

I will be sure to race you bud all motor. I may have the bigger motor but I would rather have a LS 4.8 even if my 355 was putting out 500whp. And its not ppl its NOT 500 any thing

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

Lol I'll stick with my stock bottom end Ls1, that makes over 400rwhp through an auto and loose converter... Lol and gets 22mpg. I ran a built 355, fully forged, big cam, this and that. Told me it made north of 400rwhp. From a dig he jumped out 4 cars, passed him like he was standing still. The 20 - 30 rolls were ugly. I tried the 305, lt1, and 355 route. Not for me.

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

When I go LSX I don't want any crap, no 4.8, 5a3, or 5.7l. I want a 6.0 or bigger, m6, and super charger. I want 600+ whp. Z06 brakes, 12 bolt, and all that stuff. It will cost me about 15k to do what I want. So for now I may go with a cam over .500 lift and a HSR. But for now 150 shot oops

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

But I built my motor to be the safest I have to drive 1300 miles to houston for school. I'm not sure if a 400 hp motor would do if I drive it str8 there. But my set up is very mild so mild I should be a 14 sec car. With a cam lift at .477 and a cr at 9.25 to 1 and a ported plenum. I just have zz4 heads and a alm water pump. I shaved some w8 but the umi torque are is heavy, along with other stuff. Ls1 brake swap

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

Yeah 305s being dirt slow and can't compete against anything. And the sbc thing u took it the wrong way I know u can get it with a sbc. But what I want a 1st gen sbc can't do for me. I like a lot of power but I don't like the sound of a lot of power, and I'm more a street guy than strip. 700 hp sbc 400 won't like the street too much un less its power is from a power adder. I know u guys are quick to put the gun to me and think these post are wild dreams but I leared what I said I beat and what ppl think are way different. I said and proved I beat my boy stock lt1 camaro 1 lt1 not every and any lt1. I beat 1 stock trans am with a guy that don't race and he cought back up pass the line. And othe the other NON racers. I seen new camaro ss go 14.5 and new gt 500. On a new 305 with bolt ons beat some stock cars some with miles tons of them. I'm sure I can't get a zl1 its 1/4 times if I never raced it. Y'all act like I raced the STIG lol but know beef I got my 355 running just waiting on my tune to get back. ALL HAIL THIRD GENERATION F BODY

Re: 305 LB9 are slow bull

I wasn't aware you could get 700hp out of a NA street driven LSx block to do 1300 mile trips. I seem to draw a blank when I think of "friendly" street driven 9 second cars unless they have a power adder.

Plans for the new toy are still in the works but I am thinking forged pistons, vortec heads, modified tpi and blown. Tastefully done, not any hacked missing components but an "all there" driver that runs good. As usual, I plan on starting many fights over building a 305 as Five7kid or Vader will allow.

Who's in?

I guess you don't have to read the thread then. And I don't have anything to prove. I'm doing it for me.

Who's in?
so are you building it for yourself, or to provoke ruckus by "proving" something?
imo you can build your car as you see fit with your funds.
but theres nothing to prove, its been done.

i agree, if you're doing it for you, then enjoy yourself man. the opposition to the build is pretty hot-n-heavy so prepare yourself. the look on people's face is priceless...i beat a guy with a brodix headed 377 one time. it was my final rendition of the 305, which was a 10.2:1 416 headed 310" motor. he was HOT when i told him it was just a little 305...i've had people call me a liar to my face in the staging lanes.

i got to a point where i wanted to go faster than the 305 would allow for on my budget. that's when i swapped to an ls platflorm.

I remember, that is a reason i assumed you didnt, so it would still be around. Wish i could have seen some arguments you had with fellow racers. Was probably classic.
