        if you want to go fast your going to have to get rid of the tbi fuel injection. and most liekly the 305 too. its possible but its harder to get the amount of power out of a 305 that you can a 350.

        new hoods www.hawksthirdgenparts.com has a few.

        body kits. thats a no no really. and get rid of that fugly wing on the back .

        ok no ricer add ons alowed. you've crossed into a better kind of vehicle now and don;t look back

        some tasteful tips for your car. get rid of the wing, tint the windows, lower it, put in a 350 with about 300-350 horse and you should be set.

            lose the wing and lower it, youll be done with appearance.

                  I really don't see how something like that can actually give you any downforce, and 75? If I don't cut a 90, i can go 35 and not have any tire squeel, and if i do cut one, i can go like 50 depending on the road. I would really consider taking that uneccesary thing off the back of your car. And i don't even have the "performance suspension"

                      well sence he has the import mentality i want to see a bird with this kit on it..lol http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/fx/Pontiac.htm

                      but i agree ditch the wing there are plenty of aftermarket spoilers that look good on 3rd gens and unless your doing over 200mph that thing isnt going to do anything but add weight specially around corners..lol

                      but anyways your 305 will pretty much take all the same mods as a 350 same setup same style block so cams heads intakes everything bolts on but most people just upgrade to a 350 or go even bigger 383 stroker 400 sbc or sometimes more go larger... in the domestic world bigger is better when your pushing 6 litre small block or bigger you dont need any kind of wing to make a point... the ground shaking rumble gets it across

                        as for hoods there are many kinds fiber glass,steal, some carbon fibers not alot that ive seen for 3rd gen's but the third gen bird offers,cowl,ram air lt1,and ls1 style,daytona,twinturbo hood and a few others. there should be some nice post of hoods for 3rd gens on here i had one when i was looking for mine.

                            well im not a huge fan of the kit..lol its not super tacky but the only reason to have it that open and "ricer" looking is if you have a huge intercooler behind it... because thats the only reason to have the bumper like that would be to flow some "needed" air into the engine bay...

                            so you get a huge intercooler say a 406 sbc twin turbo enigne under the hood... i think you could get away with it without too much bashing...lol but you would still get some bashing, its two completely different worlds import and domestics... combining the two doesnt usually get approval from eaither side... but do what you want its your car and after that it doesnt really matter
