88 tbi or 89 and up T1 rollers are nice,

Ok. i rember hearing ans reading that the 88 tbi worked great for lower boost cars but higher boost cars didnt like them....

2.2 TBI, not 2.5 TBI, just to clarify.

There good for around 20 psi and lesss. Past that, they tend to bleed off boost, so where told.

2.2 is square tooth, 2.5 is round tooth.

88 TBI is a great cam, but get a F3 to wake it up. Your car is a heavy tank, adding a bigger cam will get the ball rolling better

As for bleeding off boost, yup the TBI makes power with more overlap. Which is great at lower boost.
