TPI or Carb
I own a 85 T/A with a 305 TPI and 700R 3:23 I am building a 350 roller block to replace the 305.
The car will be my DD so I'm not shooting for big HP numbers, I would be happy with around 300 at the flywheel.
The TPI seems to be very expensive to improve and it looks easier to install a intake and carb.
I do love the look of the TPI and the great starts and drive ability.
If I use the TPI research shows that I should upgrade to the 86 and up computer which means a harness change and a lot of work, 22lbs injectors, and maybe a custom chip.
I'm open for suggestions

Re: TPI or Carb
If its already TPI and a daily driver, then keep it TPI. Carbs are for race cars, EFI is for street cars.
