Im confused whats up with the v8 ban? and to what age limit does it go to? does it count against people coming from america cause if not I'll Haul my 88 trans Am GTA over and start the driving heh
Beautiful car! I hate the "Anti-V8" P plate law too. I wanted to buy a Pontiac Trans AM 1982-84 with a 305 V8 but then the law came in and I bought an 87 Fiero instead which I am more than happy with. Great Video!
I don't really like the 86 Trans Am's because they were a little down on power the 305 TPI in '85 had 215Hp but in '86 it went from 215 down to 190Hp. But it's still a nice car!
ive got an 86 body, and im putting a V8 305 in it. ive got performance headers for exhaust and ill be using either an eddlebrock or holly carburator. how much horsepower does this sound like?
@Bbdrew Are you smoked? The firebird came with TPI smart guy not TBI. As far as the H.O. goes,its in the cylinder heads. Some had them and some didnt. They are a 64cc combustion chamber which improves compression ratios. BTW a 305 has never, and should never have high output in my opinion. These motors are gay.Not a V-Teck by a long shot but gay none the less.
Uhh, it came with either. The engine options for this particular car would have been:
Base Level: 305 TBI
Option: 305 TPI
A stock firebird's base option would be the 2.8L at the time. But this being a Trans Am, automatically came with the 305TBI.
The only nice thing about the 305 TBI is that they are absolute pure fuckin tanks and will take all kinds of abuse, although they're slow as hell - they'll last forever.
@1986pt How the hell did you hit 270kph in a firebird? What springs/shocks do you have in it, and how do I disable my 105MPH speed limiter? Maybe its a TPI thing.
i seen your vid dick head. anyone can drive in a straight line.try doing donuts next time. maybe the boxter wont beat u than. also yr car is as ugly and usless as tits on yr dad. stupid hill billy
by the way i have a 87 trans am. theres nothing u can say that would justify doing that to a trans am so dont try. just say sorry guys i dont know what i was thinking, and ask for our forgivenes.
You say that you will keep your license while doing this on gravel/sand, and losing your license by doing that on concrete/hard surface? Isn't that weird?
could you tell me your exhuast set up? and what have you done to the engine? cause that sounds awsome. it looks like you have true dual exhaust, have clearence problems? i have flowmaster 80 series on my 86 trans am that has 350 tpi in it. I just bought heddman hedders and new y-pipe, i hope it sounds as good as yours. sabrom19, why dont you take whatever piece of shit car you drive and drive it into a wall
im sorry i dont know what the set up is. it was like it when i got it but i will no soon. im putting a 383 speed way motor in it very soon. at the moment its just a 5L tpi auto. im sick of my lancer but i need 2 cars because im not aloud to drive a v8 its rules over in aus. but thanx 4 the comment
I agree with 91CamaroZ28. This sound is more than just good american V8 Sound. It's juest perfect! Got a 92 T/A 5.0liter TBI with an Edelbrock Exhaust. But what did you mean with the rule that forbids you to drive two V8? Is that shit true?
in nsw p plate licence drivers arnt aloud to drive turbo, super gharger unless its a desil,no high performance 6 cylinders or 8 or more cylinders. and no engine mods. my other cars a little 4 cylinder lancer
Hows this for think im a p plater and its a v8 there are restrictions.I should not even be driving it and i live in a town of 2000 people where every one knows every one. Now t
I also own a '86 TA and they are sweet rides.

depends on the year / type of 305 as the 305 throughout the years had between 145hp and 235hp

yea, mines an 85, has the 305 HO, i think it puts out 190?

@isrsan the 305 TPI puts out 190, the 305 TBI puts out 170 - they were both considered HO motors in their prime though so dont go just by HO
