I live in the Colorado mountains and I have NO power with a carb (Dick Paterson rebuild). If I had the $$ I'd go with a TBI.

Bill, I question your thinking. I do not think you will get any more power out of a TBI system vs. a carb. I believe your problem is lack of air (air density). Delivering a little more (or less) gasoline to the air fuel mix should not make much difference or you power. What I believe you need is more air.

That said, I do not have a TBI or port injection on my GMC so I have no real world GMC experience to fall back on to proove my thinking.

I do have several thousand hours of flying experience various altitudes to back up my thinking. When we want more power in a gasoline airplane at altitude we add more air (turbocharging).
