JUICE!!!!!!

Well, along w/ the LT1 cam.......I just bought a complete NOS syst. for GM TBI from a guy up the street for $250. I figured if I don't like it on the TBI, I'll put it on the carbed motor. It's pre-set at 120 shot. Should I get a new/better fuel pump in there. It's a 91 'maro TBI. He had the system in an '89 or so bird.

ummm first how are you going to use it on both tbi and a carb intake??? this is pysically impossible!!! 2 totally different intakes the plate wont fit on a carbed intake! dont know much about nos(yet)! but i know that the 2 use different intakes!(ie 2 different plates!) ommm can you just take the tbi plate off and use a regular carb plate in place of the tbi plate? if so call me a itiot! please! i deserve it!

OK, your an itiot. lol

...and you also would need to change the fuel jets due to the different fuel pressures.
TBI = 12-15 PSI
carb = 5-7 PSI
Your stock pump should be more than sufficient at that power level if it is working at full potential. Be sure to put a fresh fuel filter on.

Of course you're right..............I just didn't mention the fact that some things would need to be changed. I have extra parts (i.e. rails, plates, intakes, etc) from different set-ups that I could use. Thanks guys.
