I know you guys never said it doesn't exist... but I do know that you say that there isn't anyone who makes it for sale for the most part... but here is one. Personally, its the first TT TPI setup I've ever seen.

So they do exist on more than a "theres one or two around" level. Can they be bought? They are in the Corevette Musem... so how did they get there and for how much u think? Someone mentioned Calloway... how much would he charge to put one on one of our cars? Honestly I am not seriously interested, but curiosity is running wild

There is one in the corvette museum probablly just to show off what their engineers whipped in during their lunch break. I don't believe that GM made these for mass production, just as an ornament.

As for callaway, have a look through their website:

http://www.callawaycars.com/


I'm still saving for a Sledgehammer. 254.76 mph back in 1989. Not even the Supra boys can beat that.

There isn't currently a kit for our cars. All of the people on the power board are building their own systems.

In August 2002 issue of Hot Rod magazine they have a small clip of a twin turbo efi sbc crate engine that Nelson Racing Engines is producing. Its not a tpi setup, but its pretty cool to see a tt crate engine.

I can't remember where I saw the pics of this engine but I saved 4 different shots to my HD.

Pretty impressive looking . . .
