I use a 10" Edelbrock open-element chrome filter housing with a Purolator
A43195 air filter and have had great results. This is on a slightly
modified 88' 305 TBI, C1500. Definite improvement over the stock air
housing and filter.

People don't seem to realize that you can't let more air through without
letting thru lots of other shit with it. The solution to airflow
problems
is a bigger air filter, not a see-thru cotton piece of shit covered in
oil.

I have a 4.3 Liter in my S-10 with a box filter, if I did anything, it would
have to be an air charger being there is no clearance under the hood near
the thorttle body.I could get a k and n charger and use a different filter

No, there's a baffle in your airbox that "silences" the incoming airflow,
thereby making the intake quieter (no sucking or whoosing sounds). This
restricts airflow.

I havent seen any baffle in the air box, just that tube that runs behind the
head light from the front of the air box. I took that off beause I was going
to reroute that so it would actually pull cooler air in. I did remove that
honey comb like mesh from the mass air flow sensor, it seems to have helped
with fuel milage a lot.

ever thought of adj the timing,da, 305 is at o btdc un hook timing
connecter and time at 10 btdc, hook back up connecter and shut off
restart and there you go 20 horse power, if it pings back it down to 8
btds,but i never had any ping problems, i went as far as 14 btdc with
out any problems , and its a new truck

1) Seeing as how they didn't make the 305 after 2000, it can't be "new."
2) 10* BTDC is WAY too much. 4-6* BTDC is as high as I'd go.

But the new TPI trucks do have timing more like a carb, way up there. But
then I think stock is 14* even then...

Oh well, I didn't like the post either. I say just pull your dizzy, find TDC
on the exhaust stroke and re-install. It's much more fun to watch the fire
come out the throttle body than out the zoomies....

You're confused. The TBI trucks will idle at 12-14* BTDC, but this is with
BASE timing set at 0*. Base timing is zero, ECM bumps it up to 12-14*. So,
with BASE timing set to 14* BTDC, ACTUAL timing at hot idle would be 26-28*
BTDC, which is WWWWAAAAYYYY too high.

The new trucks run in much the same way, with base set to 0* or 'zero
camshaft retard offset' and the ECM does the rest. Timing on the newer
trucks isn't as tweakable as it is with the older TBI systems as the SES
light comes on when you mechanically advance the timing.
