All 305 Engines Horsepower

[Mark Callanan]

I didn't want to get into this
but I have to support Rod here
He went through tear down a few weeks ago
He set the record and he had the record before that
He has worked very hard to get to the point he is at
Isn't that what this is all about?
This is about performance isn't it?
Now i dont know why he did it
Maybe just because he can
Either way he spent the money and can do as he wants
Me I will keep working to keep up
Thanks Rod for setting the bar higher,,,,

The majority of the damage was done before Rod. I believe the original post is about the F/SA 1985 Camaro.

[Crew Chief]

1 1977 F/SA Michael Iacono, Ridge NY, '85 Camaro 10.646 11.85 -1.204

[David Lee]

are all 305s going to be hit or just that combo?

[Tom Moock]

I think all 305 263hp auto Camaro move to 275hp. Change cam go to 262 hp. or buy a Monte Carlo or Malibu wagon same motor 248hp.Tom

Mark,
Thanks for the kind words.
I wasn't the one to hit the 305/263 combo first, I was content running 1.15 under for class with 120 lbs extra in the trunk as this was a mineshaft race. After another racer hit our combo the first round of class. I was pissed off and took 100 lbs out for the next round of class and ran 1.264 under, thinking that the next trigger was 1.30 under. As many know we have run our car between 7-8 tenths under for the last 4 years to keep the average down. Only at Indy last year or open races have we held it all the way down. What really sucks for me personally is losing the record that I set a few weeks earlier at Atco because of someone wanted to go to the pole in qualifying.

Hi Rod, it's a shame so many feel the need to Monday morning quarter back. Truth is most of us wish we had that problem of potentially going too fast. It takes lots of hard work and tuning and more work than many would dare to put in to be able to run like you guys. Enjoy the moment and never worry about what others think. It's envy that breeds contempt. The car is bad *** and same for Kenny's car among others. Nice talking to you this weekend and good luck the rest of the season,

That's the beauty about stk and ss. You can leg it out when you want to. I hope Kenny and Mike do it again. Change cams and do it again. Add fuel injection and do it again. This whole gentleman's is BS. Kenny has been running this combo for years. If he wants the pole at one of his favorite races than so be it. He's spent the hard earned money over the years and deserves it!

Rod nice run! Is there any chance you can get that guy with the orange car to do the same thing at Norwalk next week.

I just have to speak to Jim on the best way to have a lobster pond in the backyard. Did you see the size of that thing on Facebook. I just wonder how many bags of Purina Lobster Chow it took to make it that large. Will I have to build a cement pond too.
