swapping intake

[danman6677]

is it a big improvement to swap the TBI intake for a carb intake and add the adapter for the TBI?
Also If the stock fuel pressure is from 9-12psi will those 15 psi springs be worse or help?
Im working on a 1994 silverado 350 tbi

I don't believe swapping the intake is worth much of anything without a tune, I tried to look for a helpful thread I came across once upon a.... but to no avail.


PS: Nice to see someone from the island!

The thing about an engine, everything needs to be matched together. Certain things will help create more ponies when paired with other things.

Yes, a better flowing intake manifold will improve HP, but not significantly if that's the only thing you do. All air does is provide fuel with the ability to burn. More air without more fuel will not help anything.
