Re: TBI Mod's.

first lose the exhaust manifold idea and get headers and then second learn to tune your own chips and read the stickies

Re: TBI Mod's.

Regarding the Holley TB, I'd search and read these forums carefully about that piece. It appears to me that you can get as good performance and less headaches by having your stock TB ported. Your TB ported will flow in the 590 to 625 cfm range, which is plenty for a L03. If you go this route have the injectors cleaned and flowed while your at it. Search the web on xtreme-fi and cfm-tech for some companies that port and massage stock TB's.

Re: TBI Mod's.

Thanks for the advice. Took a look at CFM-TECH Thottle bodies.Looks like a cheaper & easy way to go. I may go with the Edelbrock Header setup.I've got the Laptop, Winaldl, and Tuner R/T.I guess I could get the burner and some chips and dive right in.Just retired and plenty of time, but maybe over my head.Thanks again.

Re: TBI Mod's.

it may seem like its over your head but once you actually start buring your chips things will make a lot more sense to you
