I want to put this in my GTA with an aftermarket Accel TPI set up (either a LTR set or Super Ram.. I already have both) What are your opinions?

I have never heard good nor bad about blueprint motors. Looking at the parts involved it is a moderate budget built motor. If it suits your needs then i would say for the money with a 2 1/2 year warranty it seems like a good deal.

no roller cam and mild buildup of parts, I'd pass honestly. For that kind of cash you could swap in a ls1 motor and make more power. Plus sell off your intake and you'd be money ahead as well. Otherwise if you're set on a 383, get a local machine shop to build you one with a good roller cam setup and a nice set of dart aluminum heads and make more power.
