After a long and unsuccessful journey with a TBI 383 and a "popular" TBI mail order tuner, I have been very reluctant to make any changes to my SBC 350 jeep with a TBI, factory cam, factory TBI intake, and factory tuned motor. It is a 1970's 4 bolt 350 with 1970's 441 heads and a 93 intake, TBI, and distributor setup. It doesn't have gobs of power, but after it warms up, it runs smooth, doesn't miss a beat, and runs well here at sea level in Houston and at 12,000 ft in Colorado. BUT!!! I have the bug and want to make some changes in suspension, and motor. I would like to add a very small Summit K1101 cam (or other cam if someone with more knowledge than me recommends it), a simple Edelbrock Performer intake, and a 46mm throttle body, for a little more mid power. I am having a hard time pulling the trigger after the fiasco with the 383 project that ultimately had to be sold at a loss out of frustration. I still have a few bit and pieces from the 383 like, USB data log cable with the 10k switch, a Moates eprom programmer and a few extra chips, but I have completely forgotten the process and I was only data logging while the "tbi specialist" was making the changes.
With the help provided on this website, I think I am going to move forward with the changes and try to learn the tuning process. I am not too far off from stock and I hope I can figure out how to make some small tweaks and get her running with new spirit. However I am carefully going to remove and save all the factory parts to put back in if I can't gt it right.
I just recently discovered this website. I have a lot of reading to do and a long journey ahead of me.
