since i dont hear too much about modding the LT1 intake for the TPI throttle body, i assume they bolt on the same...
i guess my question really is... can the LT1 TPS sensor be made to work with the TPI computer easily? like bolt on, the sensors give the same output or what?

I do know. 
The LT1 TB will bolt right onto the TPI intake. You will have to use the TPS and IAC from the LT1 TB. Your TPI wiring harness connectors will need to changed to the LT1 type TPS and IAC sensor connectors. And finally you will have to change your throttle cable to the LT1 style and make a bracket for it.
Sounds like alot of work for nothing, the TB's are the same operationally. No performance increase will be had by changing......

sweet... thanks.
since im building my own intake ( and using a LT1 one if i cant build it) and converting to TPI from TBI, its just easier for me to get everything from a LT1 car...
thank you.
