I'm giving up on the TPI stuff and going with LS1 stuff

I've finally seen the light. LS1 stuff is better. I hope this makes me faster.

No they aren't but it is nifty knowing they have PM rods and LT1type pistons.

Hey, Allen!

Do you have any left over parts that you would be interested in selling?

If you are going to be over at Don's place any time soon, shoot me a pm and let me know when.

Re: I'm giving up on the TPI stuff and going with LS1 stuff

Actually I might. I have the intake system with the First base and highly modified SLP runners I might sell. I was over 420rwhp with that set through an automatic transmission. It is not set up for a Vortec head. Needs the regular style head.
