Re: post tpi pics here.

It's a work in progress but has come a long way. I bought this car in pieces. The motor was greasy and sitting on a pallet when I picked her up. This is how she sits today.

Re: post tpi pics here.

I have to agree, the look of the TPI is definitely my favorite. Heres a few pics of mine in my 86 IROC. Motor is an L98, and done to look original with the original intake and TPI from from the 305. Spent a lot of time fixing coolant leaks and getting it just right. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Re: post tpi pics here.

Here is a pic of my sweet TPI in my 86 TA. I love the looks of the TPI for sure. Better when I get my Ram Air Filter setup to go with my Ram Air hood. Cheers......

Re: post tpi pics here.

Out of all the nice air intakes I've seen IMO this style seems to be one of the better for transferring cool air . If I did not have a cowl hood than this is what I would run slightly modified for TBI.

Even when you gut it, it still looks sloppy and crowded!

I cant be happier with how mine turned out. It may not have came from the factory like this, but I made it look like it did.

Hey buddy where did you get that cool air flow system from? It looks sweet. And how does it compare to the original air mass flow system. I'm tryna make my 305 as quick as I can but don't plan on swapping motors. Just the basic bolt ons.
