Re: 87 tbi upgrades
adjustable fuel pressure regulator and 13psi with gauge kit to see its there makes power . stock can be 9.5-11ish at best .
heard setting timing to 4* over stock 0* is a tweek .
tbi mods = chip burn .
stock exhaust is a HUGE restriction on these trucks . and the stock old school pancake cats were major choke points . when i swapped mine out years ago on a truck i had it was like adding 30hp to the truck . seat of the pants feeling of more power .
if it was me do what ya want and go carb intake with 4150 flange on it for the style of carb . then get a fitech or snipper efi unit and smack on there and be done . last mod is swap fuel pump for a 96 c3500 350 truck pump to get the psi required .
all the money and time and mods to keep a 2 injector tbi unit . . . i think is better spent on a snipper or fitech . then you can make changes later YOUR SELF ! no chip reburn .
