swap 305 tbi to 383 tbi

Is it possible to swap a 305 with 383 stroker and still keep tbi or make it TPI? The 383 has about 450 hp and 500 ftlbs of torque. Is there a way to make the tbi funtion correctly with that much power? I have a 91RS.

You can do either.

TPI would require extensive modification, read $'s.

TBI is also possible, the factory put it on 454's. The TBI forum would be a better place for info on that.

I think TBI can feed that kind of horsepower and torque. Big block injectors, bored throttle body and intake, increased fuel pressure, the right cam, EBL(modified TBI ECM), wideband O2 and lots of tuning to get the timing and fuel down.
