well, if it was a 81-86 it had the carb'd 350 that was smogged out just for California and had a "whopping" 165 hp. it wasn't really any better than the 305 you got in the other 49-state-purchased K5's...which had 160. now, in 1987, you got the TBI 350 with 190 hp (CA rating, 210 elsewhere) and that was better...but with the 165-hp version, i see why you aren't real impressed...i have the 305 in mine...it does alright for a 305 but it's still a...305...
