yes the egr does need to be deleted. your prolly going to need 350 injectors. call or email brian at tbi chips and talk to him. he can burn a good chip to get you going. he has done plenty of swapd such as this to.

I also have a chip installed from TBIchips from a good 5 years ago. The egr will be disabled when I start tuning. It just doesnt fit unless I use the TB spacer and then the TBI wont fit under the hood! What are other people running their FP at?

Re: fuel pressure suggestions plz

come on.... wheres all the hardcore TBIers that have been playing with this injection method for years now?

my previous car ran 14.8 at its fastest and didnt have any of the engine work, all bolt ons. I had that one set at 12 or 13psi.
