I am hoping to build a 383 stroker with a T56 6-speed, and I am trying to get info from all angles. I already asked the carb guys, and they said the best was a 4-bbl. But I was wondering, could you make a TPI setup flow enough for a healthy 383? This will, hopefully, be street driven quite offenly, so not too outragious. I'm not sure yet, but I'd like to get into atleast the 12s, if not 11s. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

 

people have been telling me that you can fun a TPI with a 383.
I guess you just need to change the injectors and tweak the PROM.

You shouldn't really stick with the stock TPI. At least upgrade your manifold and runners. TPI was designed for torque which the 383 will have more of anyways.

 

Thanks. So, say I could get a used TPI setup for cheap, would it be practical to do those things ya'll mentioned? Or would I be better off just going with a Carb? So, eventually, I'd like to trick my car out. And make it have a remote starter and such. Could this be possible with anything but TPI? Thanks,

 

yeah if you can get a tpi setup cheap, you could port it and all the good stuff to put on it!

 

Hey thanks, so if I do all that to the TPI, providing I get it cheap, would it be more fuel efficient than a 4 bb carb? What exactly is involved in making the TPI produce good power with the 383? And, would if be cheaper than just a good 4bbl, and manifold? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just tryin' to get as much info as possible. Thanks,

rock on:hail: :hail:

 

yeah a couple of people over on corvetterforum are running low 12's and even 11's with a 383 and the TPI intake... that is what i am planning to do... at least for a little while... then maybe switch intakes later... i saw a guy on that forum the other day that was running 11.8s with a bigmouth intake... ported pleunum, and i can't remember what aftermarket runners... a Vig. 2600 stall and ported Alumiunim l98 heads!!!!!! :hail:
