I'm looking to convert to fuel injection. My setup is listed in my sig. I don't know much about injection. I was looking at the Holley kit that would allow me to use my current setup minus the carb, and throw a throttle body on top with 4 injectors. I've also considered the Holley mutli-port kit, but it is significantly more expensive. Is it really that much better? Thanks in advance.

 

TBI OR MPI, well Id say MPI. I havent seen exact dyno charts proving it. With stock motors the MPI would deff outperform the TBI, but even with your setup Id still bet that the MPI is gonna make more power. How much more expensive is it ??

 

It's $1,439 to go with the TBI setup, and $2,299 to go with the MPI setup, which does include the manifold, so about $800 more.

 

Talking from experience here..I had the TBI on my truck and traded out for a MPFI setup and the difference is unbelievable. My torque is down a little on the low end but it makes up for it from 2500 rpms on.

 

I knew it was a better setup, what kinda power did you make ??

 

Overall....about a 150hp more with heads/cam on my 383.

 

I sell them for irocs and corvettes its the most efficient way to go with your swap over 60 dollars

 

WOW badass !!!! Id love to see a built up c1500, I believe CarCraft did one, it was an orange city work truck lol

 

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Well.....here's a pic of my truck so far.....still got a long ways to go.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^ That truck is completely BADASS !!!! That is one sweet ride you got there. That paint is perfect for it especially with the gloss black grill and front spoiler. I've considered doing a truck before and I thought about a Dakota 5.9 R/T but now I know Im doing a full sized Chevy or GMC. That is awesome man love it !!

 

Thanks man....like I said....its not done yet....the next few mods is the grill with a 94-up conversion painted to the truck and a new front bumper without the lights in it, just smooth, painted door handles....but the airdam is staying black.....I like it....that's why I bought it and painted it like that and it will go nicely with the paint scheme I plan to put on it, . Plus, the truck ain't complete yet.

 

Sounds great man, keed me posted on its progress. Im very much interested in a 1993 454 SS that a guy is selling not too far from me. Its black and has 71,152k on the odometer, stock motor, he recently replaced water pump, timing chain and distributor, and has documented all service and regular tune ups and oil changes. He wants 5,500. Do you know much about these SS's ? Is it a reasonable price ??
