If its anything slower than low 14's, then why even bother running it, unless its free. I am not even going to waste my time running my 305.

Last I looked, a factory 305 only produced 145hp in 1986. Or is this just California trucks...???

My '85 is said to make 160hp with CA emissions. I looked it up in my resoration pack. A "normal" or federal 305 make 165hp.

I ran my truck with my friends g-tech pro and it ran a mid 15. But that was without cam, headers, ignition. I dont know how accurate those things are tho. All I need is gears and Im thinking low-mid 14's.

Cool, b/c I have pretty much the same set-up. I'm going to run mine for about a month before I take it to the track.

Good idea, because you dont wanna mess up that engine! What gears do you have? I want gears so bad but I have too much other stuff to buy right now.

i'm not sure if he has run it but i would guess with 400 hp and his gears and posi with a 700r if he hooked up off the line it would probly run a high 13.

www.smokemup.com then go to Auto Math, then to HP from MPH, it's always fun to play with that. It's actually pretty damn accurate!
