TBI heads are horrible. TBI is horrible. Ditch it all together and start over. Buying an aftermarket intake will not help much at all. Just my .02 ---

Furthermore, > [@95dime](#): > > dont bother. its not worth it. wait til you do a 350. . If you’re going to bother doing an intake, I would swap heads while you’re in there. Anything is better than the shitty swirlports. Used L30/31 heads are a dime a dozen nowadays and well worth it, iirc just swapping the stock tbi heads to vortecs is like a 30+hp gain. The vortec to tbi conversion intakes are a good chunk of cash, but keep an eye on ebay/craigslist/boards/etc and they can be found used for a fraction of what you’d pay new. There is also allegedly an oem '96 model vehicle that came with the vortec heads and tbi, I think it was supposedly the heavy duty g-vans(?). or you can get the vortec lower manifold and swap to tpi :pimp: ---
