TBI Mods?

I am rebuilding my throttle body with a full BWD kit. I was wondering if there are any simple mods I can do while it's apart.

Re: TBI Mods?

TB Spacer, Injector pod spacer, Make your fuel regulator adjustable would be my advice. Would also go with a high output pump, but dont "have" to...

Re: TBI Mods?

here is some good info. http://www.cfm-tech.com/GMTBIPerformanceParts.htm I did some research before, but I have forgotten. Most I got from "Google" high performance tbi. Good luck
edit: Also it would be a good idea to make the pressure regulator adjustable, stock it is just alittle to low.http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/tbiafpr.html

Find a big-block TBI at the junkyard?

But then you'd be investing in some hardware and software to recalibrate the ECM.

Not sure what the smallblock TBI intake manifolds are like, the pre-'91 big-block TBI intakes are horrible. But then so are the heads, cam, exhaust, etc.
