when you hammer on it it takes a sec for the gas to run on in the carb, it shouldn't be much of a hesitation but there could be a little, another thing would be to check your advance spark, it may be getting weak or gone out
red line's at 5500
On my 83 z28 305 it is 700 rpm
230 HP @ 4,600 rpm 285 ft lb @ 2,800 rpm
5000 rpm
This engine should redline about 5000 rpm
Will pull up to 12000 to 13000 RPM.
The 305 is a fuel efficient alternative to the v6 engine. the small v8 actually gets comparable gas mileage to the big v6 but supplies more horsepower and torque.Chevrolet 305 (5.0 L). has 285 horsepower @ 5600 rpm and 295 ftlb torque at 4000 rpmVortec 4300 V6 engine has 195 horsepower @ 4600 rpm and 260 ftlbs of torque @ 2800 rpm
Horsepower is calculated from RPM and torque. The higher the RPM you can sustain an engines torque at, the higher the Horsepower. Horsepower and Torque are always the same amount at 5250 RPM with all but diesel powered engines. Also the more rotational mass you can spin at a higher rpm, the more energy it poseses.
Set timing at 36 degrees at 2000 rpm's
yes 6000 rpm on a 305 is WAY too much the max is 4500 and 5000 and that's pushing it. A stock small block Chevy has plenty of power no need to wind it up that much!!
6200 rpm max
In 1996, the Cummins diesel was rated at up to 215 bhp at 2600 rpm and 440 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm, ... ft. of torque at 1400 rpm and 305 horsepower at 2900 rpm
