Don't bother. Keep the TBI, invest in burning chips while tuning on a stock engine, use the knowledge learned to burn chips as you make mods to the TBI. It doesn't take TPI to go fast. I know its not fast but it is impressive for a 305 in a 5,000 lbs brick with 3.08 gears. 15.9 @ 88 in the 1/4 with a 305 TBI.

You've got a lot of reading to do. Read all the stickies at the top of this TBI forum. They will show you the light, you can make good power with TBI. Good luck
