I know you probably heard this Q before but...

What is involved in swaping a TPI into a TBI car right now I have a LO3 305 with a two barrel TBI and I hate it, I am planning on swaping it out and getting TPI I know I need to get a differant cam that will mach the TPI, I am also looking for a speed dencity TPI instead of MAF, so what I am wondering is what is involved in doing this swap??

I bought an entire L98 for 1200 bucks. I then slid a new cam in and it (engine) is still in my car.

did you have to boost the fuel line pressure to install the TPI? I think I will need obviously the TPI, ECM,and a higher pressure fuel pump, could I just put a higher pressure fuel pump inline, instead of replacing the one in the tank?

All you need is high pressure fuel, the TPI hardware, a wiring harness and an ecm. Hook it all up, turn the key and go kill some rustnags!
