edelbrock TBI to MPFI conversion....

[JeRM82]

I have a problem. I need a new truck. I want a regular cab short bed 1500. The only problem is I can decide on wheather I want a 5.3, and just do basic mods from there. My other choice is a TBI 350 powered chevy. I was leaning towards the 5.3 BUT then I found out about that MPFI kit and the smog legal power package that edelbrock makes so the people in california dont feel forgotten. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on that. I just want to get into the 14's with a daily driver, that wont be like a big block on gas, and pass smog with the mods. Any info would be apreceated, and thanks for putting up a GREAT site........HY-ME

getting into the 14's is realitivly easy with the 5.3L
and you shouldnt even have to break into the motor.
couple of bolt ons,
3.73, or 4.10 gears
a built tranny
and a 3,000 or higher stall and its in the 14's easy.
Ive got a 4.8L rowing low to mid 14's

oh and welcome
