Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have any recommendations on timing adjustments or tune-up components that work well?

22

For timing, using 12-14 degrees should give you a noticeable boost. Also, don’t forget to replace the distributor cap and rotor regularly for optimal performance.

23

If you’re doing regular maintenance, check the condition of your spark plugs and wires. Upgrading to performance plugs can help keep your engine running smoothly.

24

That’s a great tip! Are there any specific spark plug brands you’d recommend?

NGK and AC Delco are solid choices! They perform well with the Chevy 305 and can handle the heat effectively.

Is it just me, or does anyone else love the sound of a well-tuned 305? It’s like music when you hit the accelerator!

27

Absolutely! It really transforms the driving experience! What about exhaust upgrades?

28

Good point! A performance exhaust can enhance both sound and output. Look for a cat-back system to maximize flow.

I’ve read that a better air intake can also help. What’s your take on upgrading to a cold air intake?

30

A cold air intake is a solid idea! It really opens up the engine and helps maximize airflow. Just ensure it fits your model well.

31

What about regular maintenance tips? I want to make sure I’m keeping everything in check while I upgrade.

32

Stay on top of oil changes and filter replacements. Regular checks on fuel lines and air filters will go a long way in maintaining performance and reliability.

Honestly, I’ve had mixed feelings about aftermarket parts. Sometimes OEM components just fit better and work more reliably. What do you all think?

35

I get that! However, quality aftermarket parts can really step up performance. It’s about finding the right balance.

36

I’m looking for similar upgrades! I’ve heard headers can really boost performance. Any recommendations on brands?

37

Absolutely! I’ve had a great experience with Hooker headers. They really opened up my Chevy 305!

38

Don’t forget about performance chips! They can recalibrate your engine parameters for more horsepower. Anyone using a specific brand?

I’ve had good results with Jet Performance Chips. They make a noticeable difference!

I’ve read that high-flow fuel injectors can also help. Any recommendations on those?
