I gained 50 horsepower and 45 torque with a cam swap on my TPI 305 in my '86 Trans Am and was still able to tune it to get 26 MPG (with 700R4), so there ain't nothing wrong with a 305. It was the Summit 1104 camshaft and lifter kit for only around a hundred bucks too.

I also had a 305 with the TH350C in my '86 C10 and threw a rebuild Quadrajet from Mountain Man Fuel Systems along with a Summit stage 1 intake manifold and true duals from the salvage yard and that thing spun the tires through first gear and would get 18-19 MPG on the highway. I wanted to do a cam in it, but sold it due to some temporary living conditions after a divorce... Fun times.
