Performance TBI Question

[DocB]

A local guy is selling a TBI from a 91 chevy. It's a 350, bored .30 over. He had it pro built, and claims greater than 300 horses with the stock injectors and a custom computer. Is it possible to milk this many horses from a TBI motor?

It's possible. Not too likely. Got dyno numbers?

Just learned that is was a bogus claim; called the engine builder personally.

I recently asked the students what the definition of horsepower was. One of the alternate answers was "a lie that grows with every telling"
