tpi questions

[Naterman35]

oh no you don't technically need a rear upgrade either way... Just with the 350 im suer you'd have extra cash.

I had a 350 tpi, putting in an LS1/T56. I bought a 99+ tank to get around the fuel pump (Tpi f/p won't last long at LS1 fuel pressures) from a guy parting his car out, so that was cheap. Engine trans & pcm was $3000 a few years ago. You'll probably spend less in the long run just going LSx, and even if it is a bit more, it'll be newer/more effecient. Just my

i planned on eather starting with a lsx block or getting a iron block out of a truck.

[Naterman35]

wait a minute?..

Im not to famillair with the truck blocks... Are the 5.3 and 6.0 both "Lsx" blocks. or is one and not the other.

I dont know much about them except my truck has one and thats about it. Its got the 6.0

[lozanoa11]

depends on the year im not shure on the specifics

[Naterman35]

Maybe ill have to try and talk my dad into letting me part out his truck

I think he'll go for it.

Tpi Power

hello I like the question, so I thought I would give my opinion. I have a 305 With a Tpi and to be honest I hang with most 5.7's I have made slight adjustments to the prom and throttle body. I would encourage keeping the Tpi that was the greatest thing the camaro offered in the mid 80's. granted their is allot of test and tuning to do but once you found the sweet spot you will be very impressed with the throttle response,efficiency, and over all power . I was at the same cross road but before I gave up I did tuning and I will never look back from the Tpi again.

i don't have a tpi yet. i want to do a lsx swap in a third gen and i just wanted to know if the l98 tpi 350 would have enough power to keep me happy untill i finish every thing

My 305 TPI isn't that slow.

I drove a 350 TPI and it spun the tires in second gear - it was stock.

[lozanoa11]

the one i drove was no faster if not slower than my 98 v6. so thats what im baseing it on. but the slowest camaro in 96 was faster than the most powerfull camaro in 84 if i remember the years right

TPI's make good low end torque, that's why they can feel quick...but they are not for the most part.

[MP81]

TPI is a good setup. Just restrictive.

Porting the intake and getting bigger runners helps a ton, I've heard.

[Iroc'nthe87]

TPI FTW! You can always bore and stroke, many TPIS makin over 500 ft/lbs of torque. Boo-yah!
