What can be done to modify my stock 305 vortec to produce more hp. Just for the sake of reason i wanted to keep my 305 sbc just rebuild it. What can be done to upgrade it hp capabilities? I know i wont hit 300hp but get close if possible. I read that with certain cams and spring and rods that may be a possibility. I want to keep the budget simple.
Cheap and reliable is bore it and rebuild what you have. Less cost and no need to reprogram the ECM. Boring will give a very slight power increase but that's about it. Trying to build power using your 305 would be better to leave it as-is and go boating
