iam looking for ideas on what to do with my tpi and just wanted to see some pics of others ideas

i have already started to polish it and just wondering if i should put some color in it or not

 

I polished mine and painted the lines gloss black. I think it contrasts very nicely with the polished aluminum and it matches the valve covers too.

 

i think if i was going to keep my tpi when i do the engine swap in a year or two . I think i would have it powdercoated either all black or done in almost chrome.

 

This is a chrome plated setup, I took this pic this past weekend... it was on a late 80's Corvette, it looks beautiful-

 

did you guys just do the top and the parts where you can see or did you do the whole thing

 

That chrome set up is awesome. I went a different route than most here...

 

jgifford that looks really sweet, and is probably the only all-black TPI setup that I've ever really liked. And the braided lines make it stand out even more

 

How would it look powdered black and flat silver paint in the ribs?

 

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=246955 search. this thread has a lot of TPI pics.

 

this is mine i sanded it down only for like 20 minutes and then customized the nameplate. i opened another thread about that though.. hope this gives you some ideas..

 

 

I like this pic. It's hard to see my nasty rusty headers.

 

i would want to do black chrome plated with red ribs/lines. mmm black chrome

 

Hey LbSz how much was that SuperCharger

 

Heres mine. Damn wish I had a supercharger.

 

omcRIDER you have a sweet set up man, I love those Edelbrock Intake Runners!

 

Thanks Nick, funny they seem kinda rare around here, the majority seem to go with SLP. Aftermarket runners are pretty much equal in there flow rates, so I went with a full Edelbrock setup. I like the way the runners have the grooves in them to match the plenum and fuel rails, and my new valve covers.

 

A daily driver with 350 TPI.

 

Man you all you guys have great setups, i wish i can do that to mine

 

Here's mine......I machined off the ribs...always hated them

 

only color added is the TPI nameplate on the TB.

Now THAT is sweet. Good imagination, I like the way that looks !!!:hail:

 

You guys have some beautiful and clean engine bays.
Now compare those to my pretty much stock and cluttered looking engine bay to realize just how beautiful and clean they are.
The previous owner put on the "Chevrolet Racing" sticker btw, but I think it's okay for now, though it'll be gone soon.
This year my engine bay will look a bit different, with less of some things that are stock and more of some things that aren't.
