TPI Camshafts
TPI Camshafts
Will the regualar small-block Chevy cams that you see in Summit and Jeg's work with the L98 TPI motor, or do I have to get a computer-compatible one? I am very confused on what cam to get. I have a 350 TPI motor, and I am looking for the RPM range between 2000 and 6000. What would you guys recommend? Thanks.
I think that since the Summit cams are hydraluic, that they should work just fine so long as you use the stock GM lifters and all that.

I would go with a cam from one of the Tuners. Accel/LPE, TPIs, SLP, ect. They put alot of development into TPI FI cams. The opening and closing events need to be tuned for the Type of induction system you plan on using. Long runner TPI, SuperRam, Miniram, Most all have had a cam tuned for them why not take advantage of it.

Check the tech article here on camshafts, it goes into detail and gives lots of examples of good cams to use for TPI.
