You got an LT1 or LT-1...lot different... I would recommend keeping the miniram if your engine is LT1, runner are longer and if you put TPI it will be restricted ...

I see, it took me 3 days to do the wiring and start the car. it ain't that much trouble, just being patient.... your LT1 with a tpi will not make more then 250 hp ...it will be very restricted ...also since the TPI is a water cooled intake it will not perform as well since the LT1 as no water running trough the intake ...

My point is, since you have an LT1, why not keep it all stock and give yourself the trouble of doing it ....it's well worth it.
