    Noobee, HI

    I started playing around with Tunerpro. I have 2 k5 blazers with TBI, and a 67 chevy van I want to convert over.

    Thanks! I've had it since 1985. It was my daily driver for about 10 years...back in the day.

    I want to convert it to TBI because I'm tired of the Holley double pumper. There's a lot of heat in the dog house after shutting it off and the carb floods with hot starts. I was almost considering replacing the whole drive train with one from a donor 1993 c1500 (with the electronic trans) to avoid tuning issues. The current set up is a low mileage 350, L31 heads, L82 corvette cam, ramhorns, 200r4, and 3.73 gears. I'm also thinking about changing to a newer cam, maybe an LT1 cam if that will help with tuning. Then I can use a bin file from an LT1 motor for reference?

    I already have a complete system to use from a 91 truck. I haven't decided on the best plan yet though.

    It'll tune, no need to change the cam if you don't want to. Newer eTrans is a cool upgrade if you go that route.

    That's good to know. The roller cam conversion is pricey too. I thought the 93 c1500 ran and shifted really nice. Better then my K5, but I ended up selling that truck instead of parting it out.
