Definitely more relatable. and love seeing your ideas for speed being tested and shown. Failure is almost never seen on youtube and you show it with anything it happens with (rc, cars, scooters). I respect you for that and enjoy watching more because of it.
8:45 i used to have a Mazda MPV, the same one in the WuTang music video, 4wd super boxy Japanese 90s kinda Mystery Machine looking thing....anyways i had it with no air intake duct for like ever and ever until i searched it on ebay and found one for sale out of Hawaii. Got it, popped it on the airbox and instantly i could feel a boost in response at the touch of the gas pedal. Not like it was just sucking in all the ambient air under the hood. The duct was literrally a snorkel from the passenger side where the airbox was, and then it took in air right at the hood latch and even had its own rubber gasket to make sure it was essentially ram air. The opening where it took in air was about the size of a philips screwdriver grip.
Hey jack. Always great content. Nice to see some good progress on the camino. A nice exhaust system will do it some good. The stock setup chocks it nasty.
Probably losing 30hp with that cool looking snorkel air cleaner. Get a 14” k&n filter with the filtered lid/ or eBay knock off and some cheap longtube headers and it’ll wake up a lot more
I like the el Camino videos, never had a 305 but definitely running better than I thought it would, I got some long tubes for my 95 Sierra I have yet to put on was wondering if it would give any substantial hp increase lol I reckon it would be about 25hp at the very most. Id love to see y’all build an air cooled beetle one of these days 😫
Fresh video, i like the double pun at the beginning about the good ol boy hauling ass. Litterally litterally speed and horses :P. All the performance from HP and the fresh sunglasses at the beginning
I think it’s pretty cool , there’s not to much interest in the 305 in the hot rod world there are proven combos to get 400 hp out of a 305 if it’s something you are really into .
Jack, Gotta question for ya. Does that converter lock-up on your El-Camino? I got the same one for my TH200C and no lock-up. Pulled out a working unit and no lock-up on the ACC unit.
It’s crazy how those old V8s put out so little horsepower. My father has a C3 Corvette and that 350 is only rated to like 180 or 190hp. The 3 speed auto and low gears make it quick off the line tho, but highway cruising is horrible lol
So if the stock or the previous converter was 1 size and the 2nd one being installed is a smaller one , it will still fit and work as long as it's for that model? I don't know much about converters? Does anyone know?
If the Gbody exhaust is as bad as the F body exhaust was, LTs will be worth quite a few horsepower alone. I may actually have a set of G Body longtubes I pulled off for an LS swap if you want them
You’re the man Jack! So these tests were with the cold air ducting and the new torque converter? Air density always wins in my book and Mr. Banks’ book. In the narrow cases where I’ve seen flow “outperform”, it was a unrealistic scenario like dyno or sitting with the hood up and ice on the manifold. Of course…test away! I really appreciate that you’re keeping the 305. Do you think you can get it to the mid 6s? Or does that even matter? I know I’m satisfied with a deep 14 second 1/4 mile car, gets me all the highway power I could need and it’s zippy enough on back roads, while still being drivable at slow speeds.
@@JackCecil the 305 i had i put a edelbrock rpm intake, edelbrock 650 cfm carb, headers, electric fans electric fuel pump but mechanical water pump i dont trust those electric lmao and just some msd wires and it woke up the baby 305 and gave me some baby pops lol
@@JackCecil also 305s are ehh but you can put 96-98 vortec heads as an oem upgrade you just need the vortec carb intake after that. Those suckers should give you alil bump on the low end
