Yeah I'm done with my second L05 and moving to my second LT1, not because I don't like TBI just because I don't have the know how yet and I've got a lot of LT1 backup in my local club. Plus I have a problem keeping cars, I'm 19 and going on my 8th vehicle. Anyone want a TBI wagon? The new wagon I'm getting is a 96 buick roadmaster limited and I know who has taken care of it for a better part of it's life. It's in better shape than my car and has a few parts that I was going to put on mine already. Don't fear however... I'll be back by the time you all get the dual TBI setup running on the EBL system with a new weapon of choice a 71 Buick Riviera with a 455

Wow you really pulled this one out of the grave. I think my car is bigger than an H1 and I'm keeping it.

Haha the tercel was a go-kart, I could lift a tire (still attached to the car mind you) off the ground by myself. It was actually really quick up to about 70 and after that had nothing, it topped at 85-90. I beat the tar out of it and it never broke down and got a constant 40mpg.

The truck I would have kept if it didn't have a blown trans, it only had first gear and I used it as a field truck for a couple months.
