Is it stock now? --  1995 Camaro Z28, M6, T-Top Conversion & 1989 IROC-Z Stock restoration in progress, well almost stock  http://www.myspace.com/163296073 [ Edited on 06/28/2008 @ 13:21:19 ] Posted By: WarBirdsWS6 On: 06-28-2008 @ 16:19:23 Reply | Top | Edit yes it is all stock -- 1996 trans am m6,project 1988 firebird 305 m5 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2qltmz7&s=3 Posted By: fast82Z On: 06-28-2008 @ 21:32:23 Reply | Top | Edit I got 200rwhp 233rwtq from my old 305, granted it had a 600cfm carb. Basically all I had into it other than the intake and carb was a cam and shorty headers. The cam was just a cheapy summit specd. at 204/214 dur @.050" .420/.442 lift. I put it back in the car at the end of last season and it still ran a 14.4, or 12.7 with the procharger on it. -- 1982 Z28, 383, D-1SC intercooled @ 16.5psi, trick flow heads, solid roller cam, 3.73's, th400, 4500 stall, trans. brake, fuel injection, 10.01@135, 1.51 60' AIM:CHATV400   Posted By: Calaban007

I don't know much about the TBI. Check out the www.thirdgen.org message board, it gets a lot more traffic that the 3rd gen section here. --

So far I see ported heads (could be anything) headers custom exhaust new clutch new gears possible new top end And a JY LO5 350 TBI from a truck wouldnt be more cost effective?

Seems that you do have to tune the CPU to get it running right. At least that''s in the sticky about it. IDK I'm wanting to do it but it looks a little iffy. I'm not going to fuck around with burning my own chips... So I'm leaning towards carb -- Being rebuilt, It'll take a while:

How much does it cost to get the setup to burn chips. I have all the programs, but I'd need the blank chips and the gadget that actually burns the chip. --
