TBI Questions
Hey guys. Im brand new to this forum so first let me say hello.
I recently bought a '93 Caprice LTZ. Im about to start rebuilding the engine and trans. I would like to get as much power as possible out of my TBI. Im hoping for atleast 300hp? Now later on I would like to run a turbo. I have been told I wont be able to find anyone who makes a turbo kit for the TBI but I figured I could fabricate a kit for an LT1 fairly easily.
What Im asking you guys is what are the best ways to eek the power out of the TBI. I already know I will need heads. Im gettin a set of vortecs soon. I have been told about an EBL that is money well spent? Thanks for all the help guys.
BTW, if your wondering why I'm posting on this forum, I figured you all have dealt with the TBI very frequently so I ould like to get help from people with hands on experience. Im getting tired of the guys over at my forum telling me to just do an LT1 swap

Re: TBI Questions
That is for a newer vortec engine. Im asking you guys for the popular parts you all put in your TBI engines.
I plan on spending about $4,000 on the engine and trans when its all said and done. If I go a little over that it's ok. I already know what I'm doing with the shortblock. Im asking you guys about air/fuel. Also, its the EBL a worthwhile purchase?

Re: TBI Questions
The stickies at the top of the main page of this TBI forum answer most of what you are looking for. Assume $1200+ on a SRTA reman trans (that alreadys has the HD 9C1 parts), so you're looking at $2800 on the engine hardware.

Re: TBI Questions
The T56 swap is best answered by reading the Drivetrain section on the Impala SS forum; you can also find similar info here in the Drivetrain/Trans forum.
If you are rebuilding the 4L60, then you want to make sure your add all the HD upgrades that GM puts in when they do a factory SRTA... i.e. the extra clutch packs, the vette servo, etc.
