I thought someone might get a kick out of this, I did. It's not too often you see a TPI in a newer ad.

Thats a crazy pic. It has a mechanical fuel pump, wrong fan, vacuum advance, and a TPI. Pretty neat even though its not a correct photo!

They probably used a TPI intake because it looks cool. Just another reason to avoid Pennzoil - They apparently know engines about as well as tribology.

BTW, Pennsoil is not junk. I use it everyday to quiet a squeeking rocking chair.

Based on the ad I'd say its not geared towards race enthusiasts so authenticity wasn't a high priority. It's just a generic image of what people think of an engine. It doesn't have any scientific facts or numbers, just claims its better for high milage engines.
