I currently have a TBI 350 in my car that is not running smoothly, I am assuming its bad sensors, but am not yet at the point of looking into it. (wanting to finish interior before jumping into the drivetrain) Before I jump into trying to find what is wrong and tackling the awful wire harness job the previous owner did, (wires running everywhere, plenty of plugs left unplugged with no indication as to where they go). I want to know if it's really worth it to leave it factory TBI or if I should swap to a carb (possibly Holley Sniper EFI setup). Are there any pluses to the original TBI? All I see are how you have to have someone burn a chip for your specific application. All I really want out of the car is 300HP. Is it worth it for the headaches of getting a chip made and trying to make the motor work? Or should I instead go down the tedious road of swapping to a carb? So what do you guys think?

I'm all for using the TBI you have and getting a good computer to tune to your engine. Megasquirt or Dynamic would probably be the way to go. Holley Sniper wouldn't do much for you.

I was impressed by how much the Holley would clean up my engine bay. But i'm somewhat planning on swapping over to a LS in the future and am thinking I'll probably just keep the TBI for now and set the money towards the LS. I'll definitely look into the Dynamic computer, I've heard talk of them before.

You could also send your TBI to SPR Performance for a rebuild. I just got mine back from them today. I was very impressed with the turnaround. Bored out for bigger throttle blades, thinned throttle shaft, cleaned injectors, new sensors, etc.
