TPI on a 383?
TPI on a 383?
I would like to pose a question to the collective. I currently have a 305 4BBL with a T-5 in my '86 IROC, and am curious (trans durability issues aside). If I were to put a 383 stroker motor in will a TPI (speed density or mass air) flow enough air to support this style motor with let's say 10.5-1 compression. Anyone done this? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Darren

Its not optimal, but it will work.
I only got 9:1 compression but my car runs fine.
Get a HSR or a Mini ram for it and I't will work alot better. Theres a fellow on here that does LT1 intakes for our cars too.

I have a TPI-383 in My 82 Z28. See sig for additional mods.
This combo makes outstanding torque from idle to 5500 rpm.
Makes for a really fun street car, plus I get 20 MPG. Would probably get better mileage if I could keep my foot out of it

Yes, SD & MAF will work just fine for a 383. You will need to modify the eprom. The issue of "how much" the eprom will need to change will depend on how much power you will make.
