those engines or WAY overrated... i mean everyone has them.... GPs come stock people have them in GA, cavy, sunfire, fieros.... i mean yea i see why :goob: i dunno man i think its an accomplishment with a real engine 305/350 :goob: but that is still pretty sweet

3800 supercharged pushing a small pulley supercharger, 150hp n2o shot, pushing a 5-speed... if he can drive it right it should hit 11s with ease.

305 = the suck
350 = better accomplisment

To me, the 3800 sc swap would be neat. Its a very powerful engine that is reliable and puts out what... 240 hp?

EVERY 305 that I have seen has been a tired piece of shit, so that engine has no fight to it. I think a 3100 has more horsepower. A 350 would be neat cuz there is endless possibilities for modding it. Len's engine swap is VERY impressive.

yeah stock 305 are dogs :blah: I think somewhere around 140-145 hp.

That is a Phat swap. Very nice. 5 Speed w/ 3800SC, in a cav, hmmm, tasty.

I wonder how much heaver the 3800 is than the I4 2200.
