so is it worth the money to buy these ITB's or will the power gain be small? there a little over 600 and the weber 6 port manifold is under 200. i have a 90 GXL. also, would SAFC2 be enough for tuning purposes?



anyone know of a better choice? let me know. thanx

not sure on power gains but i am atleast possitive youll need a stand alone with those. running both trottle bodies back to the AFM would mostly defeat the purpose of the swap anyway.

Dude, the SAFC2 doesnt control a carburetor. Carburetors are mechanical.

dude, dumbass they aint carbs thoughs are throttle bodies and you will need a stand alone for them. i did a 85 with a 13b street port with the same itb throttle bodies on them , the car dynoed at 235wheel hp. not bad if you ask me and was hella responcive.

nice call, my bad, it is a ITB setup. Either way, the SAFC won't control it. Need a stand alone ECU to control them.

you could rig up some kinda box and use the factory afm, but then you'd kill the power gains too...



you'd be just shy of 200rwhp with those on a stock engine
