The heads used in the TPI Shoot Out were Trick Flow 23-degree (not Twisted

| Wish I had more questions, but I didn't at the timea s I have yet to find the damn rag around here.
I did get an email addy to send questions, and they will try to answer any we have IF we don't bombard them and we don't ask repeat questions etc. http://www.superrod.com/ToTheEditor.asp
I'd like to get any answere so maybe we can compile them in an orderly fasion. Those that have read the article, clarify anything you see.
And someone please get these scanned.  |

Car: Tree Huggers Engine: Do Not Transmission: Appreciate Me. | Sweet.
I'll hold off questions until I can read the article.
If it is a lot of text, I have good OCR available to me. Do some decent res (300 dpi) and you can email them to me. I'll convert them and post the text.
If a lot of sidebar stuff... I'll take whatever I can get.

Car: 1992 Z28 Engine: 355 Transmission: 700R4 | Another thing that the shootout shows is that the TPIS/ASM LTR stuff walks all over the Edelbrock LTR setup. I'd still rather pour molten lead into my ear than give TPIS my money though. I'd just find the stuff used  |

TEN TIMES THE TORQUE
The Ultimate TPI Shootout
BACK IN 1985; CHEVY INTRODUCED THE WORLD TO A BRAND-NEW FUEL-INJECTION SYSTEM. DESIGNATED TUNED PORT INJECTION (TPI), THE SYSTEM WAS A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL CARBURETOR PERCHED ATOP AN INTAKE MANIFOLD, OR
EVEN THE SHORT-LIVED CROSS-FlRE INJECTION SYSTEM THAT FEATURED A PAIR OF THROTTLE BODIES THAT DISPENSED BOTH AIR AND FUEL.
By contrast, the Tuned Port Injection system featured individual injectors positioned in the manifold base directed into each cylinder-head port entry. Unlike a carburetor or the fuel-dispensing throttle bodies used in the Cross-Fire system, the individual-port injection ensured even fuel flow to all eight cylinders to maximize performance and economy. The lack of fuel flowing through the intake also minimized oroblems such as fuel pud-
dling and helped reduce emissions. Many thought the advent of the sophisticated fuel injection had once and for all put an end to performance as we knew it. But the reality is the TPI-equipped engines started the current EFI performance revolution we currently enjoy—with the LSI and (soon) the LS2 configurations.
Although the L98 TPI engines promised improved fuel distribution and economy, the real trademark of the systems was their long-runner intake configuration. In the world of induction systems, long runners help promote low-speed torque production. While we all brag about how much horsepower our engines make, the cold, hard reality is that it's the torque curve that slams you back in your seat and brings a smile to your face. It is also what impresses the person in the passenger seat every time you stomp on the loud pedal. Chevy engineers were obviously shooting for an impressive torque curve when they drew up the TPI systems, as the long-runner intake design gave the small-block Chevy some serious grunt. Never mind the fact that the same runner length that provided so much torque actually limited high-rpm breathing—stepping on the gas of a well-tuned TPI small block immediately brought a smile to your face. Sure, the later LT1 engines offered more peak power, and ulti- |
