305 TBI - No Power
Got our 305 TBI together and running, but it's way down on power, so much so, it's out of puff by 60 mph, and likes to backfire.

It does an LT1 cam, and a chip from tbichips to run it.

Any ideas where I should start diagnosis?

Thanks.

Yeah I know exactly whats wrong with your car. It needs a PROPER tune. Brian's chips just get you in the ballpark. Get the EBL Flash and spend some time in the DIY Prom tuning boards and you'll learn all you need to know.
