Well yeah, its computer controlled. All you need is an ECM that will read a 3 bar MAP.

Meanwhile in the 21st century, a stock 6L takeout from the junkyard will make more HP than a turbo TBI boat anchor, use less fuel and be an order of magnitude cheaper to swap in. (all things assuming you're changing the heads, etc on le TBI piece of ****)
But, it's your money. I don't care.
You seem to be on a few threads saying how horrible TBI is and pretty much just Gen 1 engines in general. Maybe you should keep in mind that if they weren't good motors, they wouldn't of been built for so long. If the Gen 1 had been garbage, who knows what would've happened. Maybe Chevy wouldn't be here, and maybe your Gen 3 engine would never of been in production. So maybe you should respect people building the Gen 1 SBC.
Yea, the TBI stuff is just so smogged out. It takes alot to really bring em to life. Only reason I stayed with stock bottom end was b/c my truck is an SS, I think it'd be dumb to do a SBC swap into it. If someone was paying for it, I'd do an LSX 454 with a 2.9L whipple on top today. Make 1000RWHP and get 20 MPG's. Hard to top that.
