[Gmecm] TPI vs TBI & others

[Chris Reynolds]

350, 8.5:1 compression, Swirl Ports, Peanut Roller cam, Edelbrock 3704 Intake, Stock TBI unit, Full length headers 1 1/2" x 3", 2.5" Y into single 3" cat, single 3" in/ Dual 2 1/2" out muffler.  700r4 with the stock 1,800 rpm converter, 4,500 RPM WOT shifts, and 3.08 gears.  DIY eprom tuning on the EBL.
   
  The 5,500 lbs Van accelerating 0-90 with TBI.  It has plenty of snap and pulls my 24 foot boat easily.

  On a side note, to the man that switched to TPI along with the cam swap.  The 12* @ .050 cam duration less made alot more difference than the TBI to TPI did.   That is somewhere around 30 ft/lbs @ 1,500 rpm or so just from the cam.

I would never trade the TPI for another TBI in my daily driver.
