Just got TPI!! Please read.
well, i just got a tpi setup off of ebay. heres what the owner had to say,
"TPI setup out of a 1985 Camaro. Included is the throttle body, plenum, runners, base for early heads, 870 ECM w/ prom, 19# injectors, MAF sensor, wiring harness cut at the fuse box, and coil in cap distrib. There are also a few misc items/senors such as TPS, IAC, MAT, CTS, and EGR. All the the major connectors on the wiring harness are in tact, but some wires look cut and other connectors that I can't ID look broken."
I have a 355, and the manifolds on it allready have 02 scencors, i was just wondering if theres is ne thing neone would suggest i do before i put it in, besides porting, i allready plan this. thanx in advance, and sorry for the long post.

one thing what are the specs on the cam that is the 355?
as long it has 112*+ LSA the computer should like it.
85 year ecm + MAF (digital) system were problematic at best. you would be better off with a 165 ecm + harness + 165 MAF(analog). you can also repin the 85 harness to work with the 165 ecm. make sure you have a TPI FI Fuel tank as well. best of luck.

It really depends on how much fuel your engine needs.
I successfully ran stock 19# injectors and a chip for a 305 on one of my previous 357s with no problems at all. This was a mild 300ish hp engine though. I'm not sure how much hp a 19# injector can support, but sooner or later you'd need to go bigger to feed the engine.
What is in your 355? mild, wild?
