looking for tpi performance stuff and suspension stuff

Whats up guys I am looking for some tpi performance stuff like intake, runners, maybe a set of heads. I have headers and cam sitting in garage. I am not going to crazy because I dont want to mess with tuning yet. The long term plan is for LS just want a little extra for now. I could also use some performance suspension parts. If anyone has some stuff they want to get rid of let me know. Thanks

Re: looking for tpi performance stuff and suspension stuff

Before you start changing engine parts, have you worked out how to tune it? Or who is going to tune it?

And your choices in suspension parts need to be driven by how you intend to drive the car. Poly bushings in the rear are good for drag racing but factory rubber is better for a street car and rod ends are best for a corner carver.

Re: looking for tpi performance stuff and suspension stuff

I do not plan on tuning at all I have an LT 1 cam and mid length headers also think I am going to pick up the edelbrock 3860 lower intake then alp runners I should not need a tune for that. As far as suspension I was just looking for good lowering springs and or shocks. Just seeing what's out there. I want the car to corner decent but more important would like to grab some more off the line. Any input is welcome thank you

With the cam swap you'll want a tune. The car will run without one but it will run better with it. And that's a pretty common cam swap so you can probably get it done mail order with a single burn.

Get a stall. There's an edge 3200 stall on craigslist for $400. I would start with that and headers. Btw, an LT1 cam is barely any better than the L98 cam. Not worth the <5hp gain.

Re: looking for tpi performance stuff and suspension stuff

Ok thanks for the advise I know have an edelbrock 3860 intake that LT1 cam mid length headers and going to port plenum and wait for good price on runners. I will also get rid of the cats and have a full exhaust. I got all this for under 400 so just getting what I can on a broke *** budget haha. A stall is a good idea have to find good deal. Thanks again

I'm assuming the car is not tagged or used regularly in Phoenix or Tucson if you're removing the cats. It'll never pass emissions without them. A high flow cat will cost you maybe 2 or 3 hp so there really isn't a reason to remove them.
