I have a 1989 Camaro Iroc LO3 5 speed. I can't do a swap for a year or two due to the money and the time that is involved. but would it be worth swapping the TBI to TPI or should I just build up the LO3. If I do decide to swap to TPI would the swapping and the mods afterwards be cheaper than swapping in say a 350 or something. I know I will not get the same power by modding the engine versus swapping in a 350 but I am 17 and something that can run a decent 1/4 time and beat some kids who talk up there cars all the time would be great. Overall I am looking for at least a little over 200hp for my LO3. Somewhere around 220-250 would be awesome.

how much $$$ to get some good numbers

 

will somebody please give me some advice????????????

 

just throw a cheap nitrous kit on your car now and you can run 14s mid low all day long with a 150 shot.

BTW 305-350 parts are interchangeable for the most part. switching to tpi will gain some power but not too much more than anything its easier to tune especially the MAF system TPI's
