OK, so being the new guy here, I have a question about changing altitude with a TBI vs. a carb. Just keeping up on the Waggy, I've been running the TBI thing through my thick skull. I can junkyard most everything I need, I've done my fair share of FI swaps at work (TPI, LT1 and now LS's). I am just trying to wrap my thick skull around the needs on tuning the TBI ECM (why won't a stock 350 chip get me running?) and doing battle with the smog nazis. I think ultimately I'm gonna bite the bullet and swap the drivetrain out for an LM7 or LQ4 with matching OD trans and TC. Until then, the question.
The Grand Wagoneer is our get to fishing rig. It mainly gets used at sea level but it might include a couple of mountain trips (maybe 7000 feet). I'm thinking TBI would be nice for this but, is it needed for the occasional jaunt up the hill? Will the stock carb cope with this so I can save my duckies until I can shoot myself in the head with the driveline swap? We're not doing any rock crawling or extreme trails, just off the beaten trail to the better fishing spots, so I am not hugely worried about inclined starving of the carb.
I also have to keep money in my budget to replace every switch in my rig as it goes out.
Twice.......
