well i have a 305 tbi. and i dont like it. Now i was thinking about going to a carb. but thing i heard that the tpi system is a good one too. I think they make just about the same HP. and carb is easier. so what do you think carb or tpi? and i was wondering if some one knows a link to doing a tbi to carb swap? thanks

 

I say go carb. The TPI swap is much more costly and a bigger PITA. The swap is really easy I did the whole thing in less than a day. Heres the link, feel free to ask any questions.https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/carbswap.shtml

 

TBI -> carb will not be emissions legal. Is that a problem for you?

 

TPI makes really good low end torque but leaves a lot to be desired as far as hp is concerned. If you took 2 engines setup the same the one with the carb would make a lot more hp then the tpi one would. Tpi is also very limited as far as rpms are concerned where as a properly setup carb isn't. If your shooting for proformance carb is the obvious choice, tpi will most likely get better gas mileage though.

 

Stay with your TBI, see link SPO Technology Central, IMHO.

 

well i live in fl so i could run no headers and some kid does lol.

hey big al what does all that mean ??

 

Search, SPO Technology Central, explains TBI in simple terms, excellent info IMHO.
