What were the hp specs on a 1992 rs 25th anniversary camaro with a tb 305????
10 degrees before TDC
There was no RS Camaro in 1994.
I found this address when lloking for the same on my 1992 rs - very informative - http://www.iroczone.com/specs/camaro/camaro91.html
Depends on what year Camaro RS you're referring to...
Yes
Oil Pan torque on the small block Chevy V8 is 12 lb/ft.
I have a 92 Rs camaro 3.1 liter, and there is no available supercharger kit for the engine specs. Mine it not a '91, but the engine specs are almost, if not the same. 140 horsepower, 180 lbs-feet torque. You can rig up a custom turbo kit for about $5,000-6,000, but it's not worth it. I hope this helps with your question, if not, check online or something.
underneath the driver side between the rear tire and the door.
The question is too vague for a complete answer. A factory service manual can be invaluable for researching an older vehicle.
An RS camaro came stock with a v6 but came had the option of a v8, turns out most RS's were v8's
