Car: 1989 Formula,1991 z28

Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

scoggin dickey/edelbrock TPI baseplate for VORTEC/FASTBURN/ETEC/AFR heads or any head that has the 8 bolt vortec style manifold design, intake has mild porting to port match, its in mint shape.

SLP highflow intake runners, these are also port matched to the intake/plenum, they are also polished on the outside {NEW gaskets included to buyer}

upper lingenfelter plenum,port matched to runners/baseplate, this has also been polished

BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator,works great no leaks no issues, holds adjustment very well

Summit 0-100 fuel pressure gauge,with all fittings needed for the fuel rail{see pics}

K&N throttle body mount air filter for SD setups, or those using oval tubing for CAI.

factory TPI fuel rails with or without bosch 19# injectors{your choice}

factory tpi coolant neck and slp 180 thermostat

factory plenum extension/distributor cover

ARP hardware for every peice {factory allenheads from slp, for SLP runners}

GMPP zz4 roller cam,low miles, in great shape, also have ZZ3 cam{ you choose which you want/need if you want the complete setup} *UPDATE* on the cams, ran the numbers and BOTH are zz4 cams, sorry about the confusion guys.

100% ready to run setup, runs great, only reason im letting it go is to go to higher RPM setup, its still on the car, runs and drives GREAT, pulls like a freight train,its an awesome setup for a driver,the torque is unreal

the polishing needs to be buffed with some mothers and a buffing wheel, thats all. in one of the pics on the passenger side runner, the very front runner i tossed some mothers polish on it for a minute, and the shine came right back...an hours worth of work with a buffing wheel and they would look damn near chrome again.


asking 650 obo{minus cam} or 725 with cam i dont need to sell, and i dont need the $$, willing to negotiate, but wont tolerate ignorant lowballing., will also include k&n throttle body mount air filter, and brand new SLP runner gaskets as i wont need either.

located in illinois,still on car, runs great no issues, but i am going with a miniram for my new setup. local buyers are more then welcome to check out the car or whatever. removal of the setup takes an hour or so, will be pulled once confirmation of funds are proven{ money order tracking number/paypal receipt}and if feasable, shipped same day as money is received.

Prefer local pickup/meetup, but will ship on the buyers dime. have access to fedex employee discount, so shipping is reasonable dependent on distance

any questions feel free to post here, or PM me.

Sorry guys, i beleive this has been sold as a 100% complete unit, buyer pending payment.

feel free to make offers on individual peices{runners/base} via PM, but unless the current buyer backs out, it is all sold.

i already sent you a PM as soon as i found out about the phone stuff.

how the hell could it sound like a scam? only in this day and age does somebody not wanting to part something out, and sell complete, does it mean its a scam, get real dude.

i had someone wanting to LOWBALL the hell out of me on the lower intake, and someone wanting to LOWBALL the hell out of me on the SLP runners, one of which was you.

Don, as we spoke on the phone, i told you i would jsut refund your money, like mentioned in the PM, monday i will call you in regaurds to repayment.

as far as the parts go, they will either go back on the car, or sit on the shelf, its to much hassle for me.

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

Funny how you say I lowballed you yet I never even once gave you an offer, I was waiting for you to tell me how much you were looking for. Before you say someone is a lowballer, maybe you should get an offer first. Anyway good luck with whatever you plan to do, I'm still scratching my head on how I was a lowballer when I simply asked you for a price and your response was "throw me an offer", yet I'm lowballing?

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

You forgot? Which is it now? Wow, it seems like you are really mixed up and by your choice of words, you have showed people on here not to deal with you.

I never accused you of lying either or did you forget that too? I didn't see anyone post anything about it and I PM'd you right after you posted it, I was looking to buy almost half of it. All I said was to keep me in mind if you decided to split it, in no way did I accuse you of lying of any buyers, I said if it falls through, PM me. It's cool though, you must have forgot that too.

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

I dunno but if it takes so long for someone to reply, that would worry me. What if something went wrong with the sale, it would take a month to get ahold of the seller and by then, paypal won't help you.

By the way, I sold a set of SLP runners for $100 and a set of ported edelbrocks for $125, so I'm not sure what the OP is looking for, but SLP's can be had under $225 brand new, porting is easy, and cheap if you can't figure it out yourself.

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

hope this turns out on the good side, not accusing anybody of a scam here, but it only took paypal the matter of Minutes to refund my money from both Cam91RS1 and DaveMC when deals fell through with them, it depends on how the seller/buyer have their paypal accounts set up, if its from a credit card or debit card its instant, if its just a bank account it takes awhile(even longer if the funds are not available)

If you use Paypal, try to have it fund through your Visa. I had to fall back on my VISA account once. They moved the money when Paypal dragged their feet. I was pleased they took care of me when Paypal wouldn't.

Just my 2cents.

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

I'm sorry, but I have to say it...... I told you so! I could tell by his "attitude" what kind of sham this was. He didn't even have his facts straight when he was countering what I said. He didn't want to split it even though the whole thing would have been gone, and he seemed to avoid me when I said I'd pick it up locally, which smells like a scam. I feel bad that someone got ripped off, and I make sure that doesn't happen to me by only picking up the item, in person.

Just another one to add to the bad trader list. There are just so many, and I even recently put a site sponsor on my own personal bad trader list. Nothing special though, just another one.

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

I just don't get it! Time and time again, you see people by from new members who just joined, have a low post count, and only want to sell stuff. On top of that, when senior members warn that it smells like a scam, guess what?!?! people still buy from the scammer! WTF?!?! I do feel bad to anyone that gets ripped off but I can't feel sorry for them because I did my best to warn them, the seller acted like an @$$ and still there was a deal made!

Hello?!?! I'm within driving distance of him and he didn't give me a price on what I wanted because he didn't want to split it, even though he would have made more money and all of it would have been sold to the other guy that wanted the manifold. Does that not sound like a scam if he doesn't even have to ship to me, he'd be making more money than selling it together, and he acts like a total d!ck to anyone who doesn't offer him a "reasonable offer" even though he didn't give a price on what I wanted to buy, yet he says I'm lowballing! How else could this not sound like a scam? What the heck needs to happen before people can realize the scammers? Do we need to post a neon green label under the screen name of potential scammers? Maybe hit dumb buyers in the head with a torque wrench? What seriously needs to happen? I could tell this was a setup from the get go, how did no one else catch it?

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

LOL, that's fair, my Mossberg 930 SPX and glock 19 are my backups for my torque wrench! In all seriousness, I should be a moderator for the classifieds section, ok, not a mod, but maybe an advisor of some sort. I can see things other people don't and it helps sniff out the scams. I hope you get your money back, and no, I won't hit you with my torque wrench, UCMJ still applies to me and I don't need that big of a problem right now!

Hey you decided to come back to the thread. Yeah it is correct i did get some parts shipped and a check shipped took some threats and alot of time we will see how the parts arrive. And if the check comes. Hopefully we can put in end to this horrible transaction.

You're a peice of work man, seriously.

why dont you explain yourself, seriously.

i will admit the deal went south, took too long, couldnt find the time for alot of it. but in the very end, not making excuses of any kind, but in the end i did exactly what you asked..

Not only did i sell you the exact parts you wanted for CHEAPER, i also refunded MORE money then you originally sent me, just for being patient, and somewhat understanding of the situation at hand.

Now, the buyer is upset that apparently he purchased a 85-89 throttle body.....my car is an 89!!! for whatever reason, my car doesnt have the newer style throttle linkage...its CLEARLY visable in every above picture.

Buyer is upset that he received an 85-89 plenum...again, he clearly understood these parts were coming off an 89...so no provisions for the map sensor.....

Also, keep in mind, before these were shipped to him, in fact...the very DAY these were shipped to him..he asked me for about 15 pictures of closeups of each and every part{which i sent}, pics of everything grouped together..etc etc...which i had no issue with.

So not only did i refund MORE then what he sent me, i sent him every part he asked for. what possibly more could i have done?

Re: Vortec TPI base/slp runners/ported upper plenum,ZZ4 roller cam..

I wouldn't buy from this guy. From his post I can tell he is very self centered and that he points out all the things he did to "try and make it right" when all he had to do was refund the buyer's money. That is the right thing to do anyway.

This "No one got scammed, I lost out by trying to make it right" is all grade A, purified, cow $#!T because it wasn't the buyer's fault that the deal went south, it also isn't the buyer's fault that you had to send back money and some parts, and it isn't the buyer's fault that you took forever to respond and making people nervous.

I never did find out what he wanted for the parts that I wanted to buy, but frankly, I don't care now. Even though he is local to me and he wouldn't have to ship, I have cash in hand, and I could see the parts before I buy them, I still wouldn't buy the parts just for this incident alone. What was said earlier to me in this post was uncalled for and even untrue, and that blew it right off the bat.

I second that ! This guy's "ATTITUDE" calling me name like "LEMO" and "Ignorant" because you didn't like my offer? Things happen, OK! We all get that, It's how you handle it after the deal goes south,and its clear how you handle this..I think people like you should be banned from selling things on here..
