T.P.I. retrofit. . . advice needed
Hey all,
I have a mild .030 over 350 in a 1967 Camaro, and am interested in going the T.P.I. route. Currently the car has a Holley 4 bbl. The engine was recently rebuilt, so I'd like to keep the block and heads. If anyone can give me any advice on this swap, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
Chris.

You found the right place!
First off, READ READ READ!
There is a search button with this forum. It is very helpful. The older style 350 will need an intake from an 84-87 which is a direct bolt on. The intakes from 88-92ish also work but need some bolt hole opened up. A stock TPI will start to run out of steam at ~4500 RPM. You'll need a high pressure electric pump and corresponding lines, wiring harness, computer. Then to tune the computer you need to "burn" proms to reprogram the computer.
This is just the tip of the iceburg.
