My new TBI Power - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jason915 · 10-24-2006, 03:34 PM

finally got all the bugs worked out of my TBI set up and now I am much happier. My PROM was programed too lean so I had it worked over and now it runs real good. My engine is a 350 .040 over with L-98 iron heads a mild CPU friendly CompCam headers otherwise factory GM TBI components. At first I was real disapointed with my power output and thought I would have been better off with a carb set up but now I am very glad that I didn't. It has real good low end great throttle response and it moves the old K5 better than the brakes are good for. Anyone planning on doing this swap its real easy and straight forward. Hit me up if you need some pointers

Cool! Congrats! FI is sooo sweeet , once you get it tuned right! hahhaa

Jason915 · 10-24-2006, 05:09 PM

Yeah once tunned then you can just do the preventative maintenance and never bother with it. I really like the fact that it don't flood over on the steeps. My goal was to make it turn key have decent power and better MPG and driveability than a Carb set up. The MPG is not as good as I would have expected but that has alot to do with driving habbits.

Fuel injection is the only way to go. Once you've had it, you'll never go back to a carb.

What are the numbers on the cam? I am looking doing something similar with a .030 over 350 that has an Edelbrock performer cam and L-98 heads. I forget the exact numbers but I think it has around .442 lift and something around 214 duration.

Jason915 · 10-31-2006, 04:33 PM

Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift: 206
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift: 212
Duration at 050 inch Lift: 206 int./212 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration: 249
Advertised Exhaust Duration: 260
Advertised Duration: 249 int./260 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.434 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.444 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.434 int./0.444 exh. lift
Lobe Separation (degrees): 112
Intake Valve Lash: 0.000 in.
Exhaust Valve Lash: 0.000 in.
Computer Controlled Compatible: Yes

It's a mild cam for low end torque smooth idle and good MPG

Be sure to read this post in the FAQ.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ght=Conversion You have the right idea to have a complete donor truck will make your swap go much eaiser than trying to peice together a set up. I would suggest a wiring harness investment it's $300 but it's well worth it I bought mine from painless. I also bought a TBI fuel pump it's a walbro inline FP that holley sells with their TBI Proinjection kit. I am very happy with mine, please feel free to ask any questions, good luck
