72chevelleTPI

I know its not for a Camaro, but you guys know the TPI setup really well. I have done a few TPI swaps before but nothing majorly modified. This setup will be going into a 72 Chevelle with a built 700r4 behind it and 4.11/posi rear end. Do you guys think its a good combination? Any changes you would do? What kind of numbers do you think it will put down?

`I think a 58mm throttle body is going to be a little much. A 52 will flow enough(900 CFM as compared to 1100 with the 58) As for boring the motor .060 over, I my mind that may be a little to much. other than that pretty stellar setup

But it shouldn't hurt the performance with the 58mm TB right? They are about the same price so I figure why not just get the bigger one and if I ever need it, its there.

The block I am using is already .060 over. We had it in a 69 chevelle that was carburated that ran 10 sec all motor. Only has about 5 passes on the strip on it.

You won't have any catastrophic problems with the 58mm TB. There's a lot of debate about whether or not a 52mm will actually HURT performance just a smidge on stock or very mild builds, but for what you're doing, I can't see ever noticing ANY difference between the two, 52 or 58.

......4.11 gears seem pretty deep though....
