selection of TBI components for 383 Chevy

[Kevin Vannorsdel]

I would be interested in hearing from anybody, anywhere, who has ever g=
otten
decent performance (better than stock) using a GM TBI system.  I too ha=
ve a
blazer with a built 350 sitting under the stock TBI.  So far- performan=
ce has
been a bit dissapointing.

Any thoughts?  Thanks :)
