Trying to convert into TPI

Alright, I have a tpi setup that I'm swapping out for my tbi and I'm going to put a new cam 224/234with new springs and valve spring kit, stock heads. Now I want to purchase a set of 1.6 RR's. I already have headers straight pipped flowmaster setup with a t-5 manual transmission. How much horespower do you guys think I can push out. Another thing what other parts can I actually use to do my convertion from my tbi setup, will I need new fuel lines throttle cable etc.. please help

Re: Trying to convert into TPI

Yeah, I got the TPI setup with the wiring harness, ECM, intake manifold and the MAF. What I'm wondering is if I need to replace the throttle cable and the fuel lines.

From what i heard you either need a wiring harness for your year of the car or repin your tbi harness for a tpi, the tpi system, ecm, custom ship and the sensors, also a fuel pump, and few other things. It is worth it depending on for what you want it for a dd i say it is because of the torque it gives and gives better mpg than carb and tbi, thats what i think but everybody thinks different.
