Re: Big question!

Why is it that the '84 model carbureted 305 has less power than the '88 model carbureted 305? (84 is rated at 163 hp)

On big reason is the use of hydraulic roller lifters starting in 1987 and a boost in compression (atleast for the Caprice 9c1 350-cid). This bumped the HP on all motors (HP on Caprice 350 jumped 25HP to 180HP).

HLandin nails it. The '84 had an 8.5 c/r and the '88 a 9.3 c/r. Along with hydraulic roller lifters, which were good for a 5-hp boost alone.
