1990 Camaro RS 305 TBI 0 - 60 in 10 seconds

No I don't think it's fast. It's pretty slow in fact. It's just a benchmark to show improvements as I make them.

My 92 firebird with just a 2.5inch cat back does 0-60 in 9.30 seconds last time i measured it, TBIs are alright anyways all they need is to breath some air, ppl install the lt1 camshaft on these 305 paired with some nice breathing heads like the 416s from the older 305s, tuned. Also the crappy highway 2.73 rearend is prolly why TBIs were so slow, im sure with something like a 3.23 or 3.73 should put the car in the 7 to 7.5 0-60 second range.

@cubano1389 You're definitely right about the rear end. I've seen quite a few people who use the rear ends out of the 2.8L V6's. Nice notes on the heads and cam, I may keep an eye out for some lying around. Thanks for watching and for the helpful comment!

dude.....not cool.... come look at my page i have a 90 camaro and hits 90 before you hit 60.

[titanrain1]

@Midgetman303 Wouldn't hurt to mention the nitrous or flowmaster ;)

You're the first person to actually make a comment with a video to back it up though, I give you props for that! How much are you spraying it?

Thats pretty sexy, I've got a 1986 firebird. I'm planning on dropping a 350 bored .60 over with performance pistons and cam. and a 5 speed. =P

[titanrain1]

@seether5000 That 5 speed would be sooo much fun to drive!

Camaros have come a long way, I've got the LS1, glad I did.

Their acceleration is pretty pitiful, my RS does 0-60 in 8 seconds... Which is awful considering my Subaru Impreza WRX does it in 4.5-5.5 depending on the road.

But that camaro sounds SO good,

Check out my 1990 camaros acceleration!

@cubano1389 in 1983 they had a camaro with a junk carbed 305 and 3.73 gears, and it ran the 1/4 under 15

i got a project 87 camaro z28 t top, and its got the old carb set up on it, last year for it. Its got a rochester 4 barrel quadrajet, do yall know wether or not it would beat a 305 TBI? also i should mention its got the emissions stripped and cherrybomb exhaust. I have a 2.8 donor car i can take the rear end out of, but i dont want to if its not needed to beat one of these... it is an automatic though. look at my vids if you wanna see or hear either car. nice vid

i have an 87 iroc that im swaping out right now, swaping out the lg4 (wich is this engine with a carb)- with vette l98- converting to carb--putting in cam- head work -exaust nothing too crazy with a t56-6spd---should be nice already have a 3.73 posi in... but that lg4 was just too damn slow...

@cubano1389 your pretty much right on the ehads thats the main reason the later TBIs suck dick like mine, they got swirl port restrictive heads..

[38snipshow]

@Fast355 the swirl port heads don't allow you to rev past 4500, my machinest guy is one of the most famous chevy race car builders in ontario says you cant make any horsepower out of them.....im just passing on the memo..

[Fast355]

@38snipshow All you will do taking the TBI heads off of a L03 is lose torque for no gain in HP until you pass 4,500 rpm.

[38snipshow]

the late model 305 TBI like mine which is an 89 are highoutput engines and GM designed the intake ports on the head with these bevels they called "swirl port heads" and they are shiiiit! that why the 305 tbi's are soo slow and you cant do nothing to make them fast so my machine shop guy told me to buy a different pair of heads so i went with 305 tpi heads
