Re: [Chevelle-List] TBI?carb question

Chris,     Ya, its throttle body injection. I get between 18 and if I am really good, 25. I have a small 305 too I thought I would mention. Some of these guys can clarify it more thn I can I'm sure but here ya go. It's just a system with two fuel injectors on top very similar to a carb, but its controlled by a computer. This allows for the more precision than a carb because the computer decides the air/fuel mixture an dwhat not given the conditions. Then there is tuned port. They came on late 80's camaros and other vehicles that just have a fuel injector for each port. Mult-port gives you more precise a/f mixtures over TBI, but TBI runs a wet intake manifold so it stays cooler which is why you see those newer Impalas with their ice packs on the manifolds at the race tracks. :) -Dustin ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] TBI?carb question i know this might sound really dumb to you guys, but i don't know so i gotta ask... what the heck is TBI? my first assumption is throttle body injection, not sure if this is what it is or if i made it up tho. what does it do and how do you get a better mpg with it? curious because i have just invested in a 72 malibu with a 350/4bbl and drive her daily. thanks! chris 72 malibu new jersey
