The 1987 Chevy 350 TBI (Throttle Body Injection) engine produced up to 210 horsepower in factory specifications. However, with a performance carburetor, it could be retrofitted to produce up to 250 horsepower.

How much horsepower does a stock carbureted 350 have?
The horsepower output of a stock 350 engine also varies depending on the specific model, but can range from 145 to 370 horsepower.
How much horsepower can a GM TBI support?
Stock TBI unit can make about 330 HP at its best with normal compression and cam design. Design the engine as a 2bbl restrictor plate setup and could probably crest 400 with the stock size TBI and raised fuel pressure or larger injectors.
How much horsepower does a 350 TBI make?
Description: HP & Torque: 260 HP / 342 FT LBS. Gain of up to 50 HP and 42 Ft lbs vs Factory. Compression Ratio: 9.2:1.
Is a TBI 350 a Vortec?
The differences between them are that the TBI had the injectors right in front of the throttle plate, where the Vortec placed the injectors behind the throttle plate; and the TBI was a speed density system, whereas the Vortec used a mass airflow system to manage the fuel-injection system.
What are the motor problems with TBI?
Motor performance after traumatic brain injury
Motor dysfunctions are common, especially in moderate to severely injured patients. These impairments may include loss of fine motor control and coordination, and difficulty with balance.
What year is the best Chevy 350 engine?
What Year is the Best Chevy 350 Engine?
- LT-1 – 1970. When the LT-1 hit the scene in 1970, it took the world by storm.
- L98 – 1992. Another fan favorite is the 1992 L98 350 engine.
- L31 – 2002. Last but not least, the 2002 L31 350 Crate Motor deserves recognition.
Is TBI better than Carbureted?
The engine will run smoother, idle better, start easier and provide better throttle response and cold driveability with TBI than a carburetor. Idle speed is not controlled by an adjustment screw on the throttle linkage, but by an idle air control bypass valve operated by a solenoid or electric motor and the controller.
What is the difference between the 5.7 TBI and the 5.7 Vortec?
TBI is a little simpler and probably more reliable. The vortec engines were prone to intake manifold gasket leaks where coolant could enter the engine oil.
What is an advantage of a TBI system?
The main advantages of using TBI to supply fuel to the engine are: Simple and quick start of the car (compared to carburetor versions) Reducing fuel consumption by increasing engine efficiency both when the machine is moving and when starting.
Is a 350 TBI reliable?
tbi is about as reliable as one would expect a simple system with a few sensors and 2 injectors can be. i’ve never actually had a coolant temp sensor fail but i believe the ignition module has failed in my 350 tbi roadmonster.
