    • I'd go distributor conversion aswell while he's at it.i think keeping the coils when doing a carb swap just isn't really purposeful ithink if your gonna keep coils mine aswell just stay fuel injected.

                Well, what is it? Adapter or actual aftermarket TBI intake?

                • Actual aftermarket intake. It's a performer intake.

                  Anyone know anything about aftermarket TBI units?

                  Also would it be a big no no not to paint my engine bay white?

                    Yes, and they aren't worth the money. OEM are easy to modify.

                    White bays are great looking, but a major PITA to upkeep

                        Fixed that for you.

                        Stock TBI's can be made to flow more than aftermarket with some cheap and simple upgrades.

                        The biggest expense is upgrading the injectors. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator is the best bang for the buck, not sure what the max reliable pressure you can get from the TBI pump though. I think I have an extra TPI pump on the shelf, need to verify the part number though. I bought two while trying to figure out the no start issue on the 89 Silverado TPI swap.

                        I have a PROM burner/software/XDF & BIN files to do the tuning. Also have the ALDL to datalog. I also have an extra 01228746 brain box. Do you know what PROM you have in yours now?

                        • Are you talking about the Ultimate TBI mods found in the tech articles on TGO? If so I was planning in doing that just gotta read it again and figure it all out(if I keep this engine).

                          i have a aftermarket performance chip I have the info (says previous owner), anyway I can tell if I pull the chip out?

                          Also I saw on TGO a tech a article on how to make the stock fuel pressure regulator adjustable. I was either going to do that or pick up one.

                          • Looks like you have the info. There is a company that bores them out for a pretty good price, I'll have to look them up.

                            • typo on my part. like mike said you can use an adjustable spring, or just use an inline pressure regulator with no internals. id look into shaving and boring it out, clean the whole thing up yadda yadda. Mike tunes some pretty good chips too so he can help you along the way. the aftermarket units are all pretty much crap from what ive heard. havent seen many people that like them. if you still want more power after this i know a guy selling a TBI supercharger.

                              • I am weighing all my options but I don't think I'll be going that far Tyler, thanks tho.

                                At the moment I am considering just building up this TBI motor, still reading.
