ive got a 86 t.a with a 305 tpi engine in it. im buildin a 383, already got my block and machine work done to it. now id like to save a little bit of money and use my tpi system on my 383, is this a good idea or should i just save up and carb my 383? what all would i need to make this work, and what should i be expected hp wise? i kno ill probley need bigger injecters and random things. thanks

 

what are your emission laws where you are , some states if your car came with EFI you can't go to a carb you have to have factory EFI or better EFI .

 

i live in IL, i dont have to worry about that

 

and id rather not carb it if i dont have to. but if there is a big hp difference then i will

 

Consider a Holley/Weiand Stealth Ram. It'll flow much better than your stock TPI, will handle a 383 with ease.

 

i have a L98 T.P.I motor that i stroked to a 383 and yes im on the stock runners and intake.. works beautifully, not throwing out as much power as i would like but.. im looking at getting some new vortec heads and then the weiand stealth ram vortec intake manifold, its just on the stock tpi system the fuel goes into the the fuel rails driver side front of motor, the weiand is passanger side back motor. im not sure the best way to convert for that is my only problem...

I ran the stock TPI on a mild 383/700R4 in a 1990 Corvette. It may not have been the fastest car (258rwhp), but boy was it fun on the street. The huge low-to-mid torque hit was giggle-inducing, tire-melting fun. I will probably do it again when the stock engine starts to go in my Formula...

 

You just ditch the original TPI engine bay fuel lines and run new braided lines up the back of the engine to the HSR rails.Cleaner apperance and less heat in fuel

Can't beat 500ft/lb of torque @4K .No more power after 5K but fun getting there
