I noticed that 305 TBI motor gives 170 horsepower and 305 TPI gives 205 hp? What should I do? Please, give me some tips?

Hey welcome to the boards. You will find that with a few simple tools you can complete the "free mods" for your car that will wake it up a bit. You should start with an open air element that will cost your about $25. There is a sticky at the top of this page that will help you out there. You can also find a how to install page here that will help you.

You can also add a little base timing which will give you better throttle response, a little bit better mileage and a few more ponies. All of these mods can add some power that can feel. After that you want to start with your exhaust and go from there. There is a search commad at the top of the page that will help you find answers to your specific questions that have been answered on a dialy basis. You can read cool stuff and find out what you can and can't do to your car in a matter of minutes. As for swapping to TPI or any other FI application it can be done but at a cost. You will see that you can cheapy upgrade your TBI to have great street mannors with a little bite to it.
Here is a link to show you how to convert to TPI from your TBI.
