Gnxtreme Carb Vs Efi Engine Pics

Heres a couple more pics of my 84 limited regal
Its the same L98 corvette engine in both photos. I got the longblock
used for 800 bucks. I re-gasketed the engine with the thinner iron
head gaskets for about 10 to 1 compression, installed a flat tappet
circle track cam 240 at 50 duration 430 lift. with a victor jr single
plane and a 650 race demon.It ran pretty hard in this form but drivability
sucked. Stalling over and over until it warmed right up. (my poor neighbors)
And was horrible on fuel. So I basically traded my carb and intake for
a complete but filthy TPI set up off a 87 305 trans am. I cleaned it all
up and used the painless harness and stock computer I got with the intake.
After making up a return line and adding a used 5.0 mustang fuel pump
in the trans am sending unit (easy fit into my stock gas tank) I was up and running. I also added a 95 LT1 roller cam and a set of 1.6 LT4 roller rockers
to compliment the EFI. The car idled and drove beautiful, but was weak and
dangerously lean at full throttle, so A friend saved the day with 8 27LB per
hour Grand National injectors. The car now runs real hard for the parts I have
The only downside is of course the lower engine speed drop off about 4800
RPM. But I love the EFI and dont miss my Carb at all.:thumbsup:

GOOD DEAL!! Glad it's working out for you.
I'm still up in the air whether I want to go carb or FI. I'm leaning towards FI.
:thumbsup: :cheers:
