Car: 1992 Camaro RS - not real slow anymore...
Engine: SPDC 360 MAF EFI /w a Holley Stealth Ram
Transmission: T5 untill it blows up from to much torque

SDPC came today

:edit: I don't know what I was thinking when I posted this... I meant the engine is a TPI Vortec Custom High Performance Series Street and Strip Engine. So if any mod's see this, change title to: "sdpc came today." Hope this clears up zz4 questions listed below. I guess since the hp was the same i wrote the wrong name, lol - sorry

Anyway, I'm not using this intake. I have a vortec Holley Stealth Ram. I think I'm gonna go with 26lb SVO injectors. Not sure yet... I bought a high tq mini starter, hooker comp. LT's (ceramic coated), Holley fuel pump, Painless TPI wiring harness, fuel block off plate, and a Holley 58mm TB. Gonna grab the sensors i need out of a J/Y. O2's I'll get new. Any input or suggestions would be great. I have to see what I'm gonna do about the accessories. Hopefully I can salvage mine. They're in good shape.

hp ratings are the same, thats why. I was up late last night. I wasn't thinking this morning. If there are any mods reading this, change zz4 in the title to sdpc! Thanks..

Well, we'll overlook the slip of the keyboard then....

I suspect you should be able to turn that intake into a substantial fraction of a HSR's price; people REALLY want to put TPI on top of Vortec heads for some reason. Although, as I currently understand the situation, the Vortec HSRs are not particularly easy to come by at this point either. You're one of the lucky, what, 5? people that have one?

Funny you said that. Thunder Racing said they shipped it already a few days ago(ordered it 1 week and 1/2 ago). It only took an extra week. I was wondering why it was taking so long... But ya, I guess I'm gonna be one of the lucky ones. This engine reaches peak HP and TQ at 4200RPM's. That is pretty much where the TPI is dead. The HSR should produce at least 40 more horses on top end.

Does anyone have any ideas as to a distributer choice?

Okay, I figured out how to edit the subject line. No more ZZ4...

Is there something wrong with your current distributor? Why not just use it?

I'll be bringing this car 3 hrs away to college again this year. I don't want anything that's old, worn, or outdated. I ordered a msd billet distributer, msd wires, and msd 6al ignition box. Hopefully I'll be happy with that. Also ordered a hooker cat-back, hooker super comp. LT's headers, Holley vortec stealth ram /w fuel rail and 30lb SVO injectors, Painless TPI wiring harness(my car is origionally TBI), holley 58mm TB, holley in-tank fuel pump, new motor mounts, and a lot more miscallanious stuff. I can't wait for my car to get outa the paint shop so I can start the swap. Only other thing that is holding me up is the HSR. Supposely it'll be another 2 weeks says a guy from TGO. Oh and BTW, anyone ordering a HSR as of yesterday onward, it's not going to leave the warehouse until the end of july. That's the next production date. ....I called Holley. Thanks for the title change five7kid.
