What did you find when you did your ?

Although I don't have that setup, from what I've seen on these boards and from their information, if I was doing a Vortech TPI, that's where I'd start.

I just ran a search, big brother is watching eh? : )
Quite a bit of info came back but I've read all that already and was looking for updates to all that...

If this is not okay, please educate me.

No biggie, just wondering what info you were looking for that wasn't available in a search.

I don't recall anybody talking about it for a month or so. That about what your search showed?

Also, did you limit your search to this forum? Seems it's been discussed on the Tech/General Engine forum. I don't know about the TPI forum, because I don't go there much.

Yep, found some more info in the general tech section. Sounds like a screamer if tuned correctly.

I find it hard to believe they did this with a stock PROM. If MAF, that's a little easier to believe, but the 500 cfm limit would limit the power. If SD, then it's hard to believe it would behave half-way decent.
