I have read on here that the Vette TPI componets are basicly the same as all the others and that they don't flow any better. but all around here guys keep telling me that "stepping up" to Vette set up will get me alot of horse power. So just to settle my mind its all the same right?

 

True but the corvette came stock with the aluminum heads as opposed to the camaro's iron heads. The aluminum heads are better at disipating heat as opposed to iron but pound for pound the upper tpi intake was no different.

 

Speaking of pound for pound, the aluminum heads are also lighter.

 

When you say upper tpi intake are you meaning the upper plemum only or are you meaning the complete system: upper plenum, runners, and lower intake?

 

the camaro, firebird and corvette TPI setups are all the same, meaning the intake, runners, plenum, and throttle body. There will be slight variations between the TPI setups throughout the years but as far as performance, they all are equal to each other. the differences in horsepower between the vette and fbody came in the heads, cam, and exhaust packages. the vettes got slightly better parts which boosted the HP up from the Fbody of the same year. If GM put the same setups in all there cars then no one would buy the vette.

Same goes for the TPI on the 305 and 350 Fbodys, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. And FWIW, the TPI was really designed for the 305 and not the 350.
