You sir need a new camera. My speakers almost blew out.

Nice. Too bad the 305's are slow as ****.

**ninnyGTP** · 11-09-2009

No fair. 305's are GHEY! Hell, probably rape the GTA's 350 TPI haha. 3rd gen=slow

can't see crap in that video

80's engines sucked for the most part. Minus the GNX's 3800 of course.

Also, what are his mods? And why hasn't he dropped a built 350 or at least a cam'd 350 in there?

Buick Regal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read that... In short, no because it was a Buick and carried the Buick 3800 and the 3400 is a larger version of the Chev 3100, a Chevy 60 degree V6.

If you're talking about F-bodies then I believe they also had the smaller 2.8L V6 60 degree chevies in the third gen (3100 for 90,91,92), 3400 for half of the fourth and then they switched over to the buick 3800.

his car is stock, but he's about to build a 350 for it this winter.

Yeah actually I want a firebird like that to build. One of my friends is a dang good mechanic so he would help me build it. At least he got beat by another pontiac instead of a mustang lol

A stang would have owned him as well.

I know for a fact, having a 305 in the garage, most stock GP GTs could run them into the ground... the 91 Maro in the garage runs 190HP with it's 305... GP GTs run about the same, and I'd like to bet they are lighter...

Wrong on the lighter, and apparently wrong on the HP ratings.

GP=3400 and Camaro =3000-3300

I forget which magazine but they took an LG4 i believe (80's smogmobile 305) rated at 150 horse from the factory and it put out ~195. With a new intake, cam and heads it was at 330 horse. You can make a 350 put out 400 at the crank for a grand.
