Don, Lon, and I have started a new group for the discussion, reseach, development, and advancement of the Tuned Port Injection engine. It is called the Southern California Tuned Port Injection Organization.

We are seeking friendly, performance-oriented people who have TPI engines in their vehicles. This group will be open to all vehicles with TPI engines, including Camaros, Trans Ams, Corvettes, and all others who have converted. Mini Rams, Super Rams, Stealth Rams, and the like are considered TPI and will be included.

We have a website but its not ready to go yet. The address will be http://www.socaltpi.org/

Our kickoff meeting will be Saturday April 17th at 6pm in the city of Orange.

Spiro's Cafe
513 E Chapman Ave
Orange, CA 92866

Its at the corner of Chapman and Shaffer near the Orange Circle.

We plan to discuss the "siamesed runner" mods and "super ported" TPI intake mods that have been developed recently, as well as lay out a strategy for promoting TPI, including events and cruises.

If you're a fun, friendly person and have a strong interest in seeing the TPI engine promoted instead of considered "dead," please let me know here and show up to our kickoff meeting on the 17th. We'll see you there.

 

I'll be a fan of whatever gets me passed emissions

 

Count me in but we have friends in from Australia that weekend so I will have to make the next meeting. Allen

Count me in!

Edit: May or may not be there. A definite maybe.

 

Count me out.

 

I'm interested in this group, but will probably be out of town on the 17th.

 

I am always interested in tech info. Unfortunately I can't make it that day, I will go to the next one though.

 

I'm in - especially if my car is still in your care, in which case I'll bring KITT to show off my fresh TPI swap.

 

I'll be there. This will be my first meet.

 

Looks like it will be a nice turnout. I wish I did not have to miss it because of already committed plans. I will definitely make the next one.

 

Hope you guys will post items discussed here for those of us who out of range for a meet like this.

 

This will be everyones first meet.

Lon

 

Can't beat the torque of a good TPI motor! I'm going to have to try to make this meeting.

 

I am interested, 50/50 chance if I can clear a path....

 

Bump. The meeting is this Saturday. Looks like it is going to be a pretty good turnout.

 

Anybody making plans at the last minute, let us know so we can alert the restaurant.

 

i love 'em
question-
is the Chevy Z28 TPI still considered to be
tuned port injection once one installs the HSR?

 

Hey Don & Kevin,

Will you have room for one more (me)??

 

You bet...

To us it is

 

Work came up. Will make the next meet.

Adrian

 

I am in the area, I will be there.

 

Didn't have to travel this weekend after all, so I will be there.

 

I'm on the payroll today all day, can't make it.

 

I don't know how I missed this post. Count me interested, but I can't make this meeting.

 

Son of a motherless goat!!

I'm not sure how I missed this thread, but this is my first time seeing it. I was half way through reading the posts before it dawned on me that I had already missed the meeting.

I have questions about Ca. smog laws, the siamesed runners and the intake manifold mods. I doubt I would have been able to add much to the conversation, but I would still liked to have been there.

 

A big thank you to all 12 people who took part in our kickoff meeting of the SCTPI organization.

We covered a lot of ground in what we have done with TPI intakes over the last few years thanks to inviduals such as Jerry and Don. We established our goals and plans for events, including the L.A. Invasion coming up in May and maybe another dyno day to get ready for drag racing. We were not able to nail done a specific timetable for meets, but our next one will be Saturday June 12th at 6pm, at the same place in Orange. Plans include a breakdown of how badly we beat up the LS1's at L.A. Invasion and our first cruise to Idylwild.

Thank you again to all attendees!

 

Ok, marked June 12th on the calender.

Looks like Pat got called into work.

 

Thats correct. I'm really starting to dislike my job.

 

Geeze if I lived down in SoCal I'd be there. Lots to learn!!

 

Can I be a member by proxy?

Bill

 

You bet
