Has anyone or does anyone know of anyone with a TBI setup making it into the 11's in the 1/4 mile?

 

I was too heavy(5,300lbs), undergeared (should have had 4.56 or 5.12s), without traction, and did not have enough cubic inches. Regardless I ran a 15.08 @ 96 MPH in a fullsize van with a 312 (.040 over 305) TBI. I have 3.73 gears and P295/50/R17s which is like a F-car have 3.08 gears with ordianry size tires. That trap speed was capable of alot more, but it never happened.

 

There was a guy on here who was hosting a "TBI registry" a few years ago. It had mods and times or hp/tq ratings. I think the best I've seen on here is low 12's with nitrous . . . 13 flat n/a if I recall correctly.

 

Ben73 has run a 12.43 NA with a 383. I do believe some people have gone much faster with forced induction or N2o. I believe there are lots of people who have done it with 4-barrel units.

 

with a single 2bbl thirdgen size TBI and no forced induction or nitrous? no.

with combos of other TBI units that flow more air? yes... but not that many.

 

Which I am seriously considering. I'm so f-ing sick of SES lights!!!

 

Gunny, are you lookin' to run the holley stand alone unit or something?

how well do those things compare to a carb anyhow? (power wise)

 

first time to the track with my 4000 lb malibu wagon, I got a 13.9 NA run, still have some tuning to do, no slicks, and have to get the n2o straitened out.

 

what's the specs on your combo liquidh8?

 

I don't know really. I just want this thing to run and act like it came straight from the factory and perform like it should. At this point, I'll do almost anything to get it that way.

 

Give Brian at TBI chips a call. I'm sure he can help.

 

Brian actually did a good job for the price and for the fact that he was working with a tranny on the way out. My problems didn't begin until after I got it tuned on the dyno, got the A/F ratio spot on . . . THEN I got a Magnoflow cat in order to pass emissions about a week later. That's when the SES light seem to be coming on all the time, supposedly for running lean. Brian did a good job and I still recommend him for people who just want to get their car running. If they can take it too him, all the better.

 

350 chevy, 4 bolt mains, forged/thermal coated flattops, vortec heads / (almost 10.1:1 comp), GMPP 4 bbl highrise vortec intake, Comp XFI cam, NOS cheater kit (giving problems so no times with this), BBC TB w/90pph injectors, VAFPR, (26psi max), carter frame mouted FI pump, RBobs EBL, heavily modified 2004r, GN 26-2800 stall converter, 3.73's in the rear. Car is a 79 malibu wagon with lots of stereo in it hence the heavy weight. They normally weigh in at about 3600 lbs less driver. I say 4000 with me in it. I will weigh it soon.

 

sounds cool...i love fast wagons! had a buddy with a 540BBC and a D3R procharger and air-water intercooler...it was EFI too! with drag radials and stock style suspension...went 8.60's and looked like bonestock wagon, other than the 3" cowl hood...and the parachute mount was removable so he could just go down the street and noone was the wiser...except for the ridiculous exhaust note and blower whine...made me fall in love with those things. i'd like to make a two door malibu wagon one day. that's gonna be one of Walter Racecraft's projects...and it'll be quick too

 

That would be cool. I've owned a few over the years. I have thought about a 2 door, just haven't had the time. I have toooo many cars and projects as it is.

 

If I ever get into the 13's with my 2bbl tbi I'll post it as soon as I get home...
