Re: Latest TPI project

Interesting that you dont see more of these intakes considering all the TPI work you do. Whats the combo on that build and any #'s?

I just finished it and it needs to be tuned. (Kevin)

It has the new Procomp heads, XFI 268 Comp cam and my custom headers
(1 3/4" primaries) kind of low on compression (9.7) but it is a short block built by someone else.

Any plans to put it on the dyno yet? I would love to see the numbers on that.

Re: Latest TPI project

Do you figure the tb cable bracket would work for an early tpi style (88') ?
Does the intake sit higher than stock (would it fit under a stb) ?

It looks killer and those 1 3/4" runners are wicked!

Re: Latest TPI project

No the TB brkt. is their own. (spec.)
It is a little taller, I don't think it would clear.

Yes it will be going on the dyno.
