whats the top speed of a 79 caballero with 350...with only 170 hp i cant imagine it would be fast
 
110, 120 mph?

... just throwin it out there... I know the 305 HOs were outta puff just after 100mph
 
depends on the rear gear and tirediameter. my 305 with ~140hp on the tires, runs 120mph with 205/70x14 and 2,73 gear
 
oh ok cause as far as i know gearing/rim and tire are stock and my spedo is broke and the fastest i know for sure cause my buddy was next to me was like 80 but i blew past him
 
how much hp do you get from adding mods like long tube headers....edelbrock performer eps intake manifold...and do you get anything from a dizzy that would be noticeable....ohhh and a how much did i gain from my edelbrock and hooker stickers...i know thats where the real power is :rofl:
 
my 305 ho with no smog pump, egr and some flowmasters made it to 120, that was before the TES headers and eddy performer
 
Well a new/performance distributor will provide you with better spark and fuel burning capabilities so, yes in a small way it could be a small gain in power number. Noticeable on a street engine? Most likely, no.

I had my car to about 125 mph when I first put the 350 in and it was still pullin pretty decent. It was pretty scary aswell. I have completely stock suspension (who knows how old it is or how many miles are on it) and I have the 2.41 airplane rear-end gears. After I rebuild my suspension and get a decent set of tires on the car, I would love to peg my 160 mph speedometer :twisted:
