How do you get the most out of a carb'd 305? Its a rebuilt truck motor.

what kind of setup??If its still got all the stock equipment, maybe170-180. headers, intake, and choice of carb has a good impact on the amount of hp

right now its a rebuilt 305 with holley carb, edelbrock intake manifold,high flow cats, long tubes, flowmasters, turbo 350 trans with nasty shift kit, 8.5 GN rear with eaton posi and 342's high flow fuel pump. i think thats about it..

is it going back in a truck or car. because truck engine's come with a crappy low rpm cam, which greatly reduces high end power.

Its actually in an 87 cutlass and will be staying in there until i can get my raise i deserve! I was thinking about getting a cam and vortec heads. Friend of mine from work is bringing in his edelbrockcam from his 350. So we will see.. any other ideas?

I put a cold air intake on my carburated 350. the power intrease is great. I got the single intake plenum from ebay for about 50 bucks and got the tubing and filter at autzone.
