I have a moser posi rear-end with 3.73 gears. now have bassani cat-back, random tech cat, hooker headers. I have comp cams sittin in my garage but have little time to put them on and im just thinkin the tbi will accent the cams and exhaust . One more thing I have the open-element mod.

Anyway back to the man subject will this just bolt right on or do I need to do anything or buy anything..

I know you probably don't want to hear it, but honestly its too much throttle body for you. Save your money and use it somewhere else. What do you mean by you have comp cams? I take it you have an aftermarket cam (singular) what are the specs on it? You aren't in the 670 territory yet. that territory is for heads/cam/intake 305's and 350's. Seriously its just going to dump a ton of fuel in and give you driveability issues with all that extra air.

This is well put. Save your money for something else. Look at my mods in my sig and I am no where near maxing out the stock TBI unit. After I get some new heads, upgrade the fuel system and slide in a bigger cam than i will need one. For now I have other power limiting things on this car besides the TBI unit.

your tranny and driveshaft are fine until around 350hp, then you should consider upgrading.
