I have been pondering about putting on a TBI system on the coach as it's Christmas gift this year. I have the intention of useing the coach at times in Colorado/New Mexico and would be doing some anticipated traveling in high altitude. I have a buddy of mine that is a backyard type mechanic. He dosn't pretend to know everything about mechanical work, but he is very knowledgable general engine work. He has driven the GMC and had done some minor engine things to it for me. He thought putting a TBI system on it would be impracticle if I looked at the occasional use of the coach in the moutains. He said I will mash down on the gas a little more and use a bit more gas but in dollars and cents would not use that much gas if I was passing through the mountains. If I would be spending more time in the mountains, he said I would just adjust the carb for the altitude change. I'm just wondering if this is the way to look at this? Any comments are welcome. Just trying to make a decision on this. Thanks all!!
