350TPI 1/4 times...
Whats the fastest 350 cubic inch TPI car that you currently know of. No nitrous, no supercharger and no turbos....Just all motor including heads/cam...but has to be fed by TPI induction. Just want to get a baseline of what a bolt on/cam 350TPI will do 1/4. Any input would be appreciated.

well i know of several TPI induction cars puttin down around 300-330whp.
thats good for mid low 12's.
some vette guys are 11's i believe
superam cars which is a form of TPI, are doing 11's easy on 383's.
but mainly TPI n/a cars are doing low 12's. thats about the most your gonna get without some weight reduction and more mods for strip performance only. i dont think a high 11 is out of the question tho with a great launch/chassis setup/trans/gearing/driver.
my car with full exhaust and gutted airbox for power mods and 2800 stall has done 13.88 at 98 but has trapped 100.9. on street tires
on slicks which i will be gettin soon, i should do mid lower 13s. i hope for 13.5's for now, then i'm workin on hittin a 12.99 if i hit 13.5's with the slicks only as my next mod my next time out at the track. we'll see

i'd save your money and not by the throttle body. you will have plenty of flow with the stocker 48mm or else get a 52. 58 is abit too big.
with those mods. you will be mid high 13's easy on street tires and a 1.90 60 foot. thats where i'm at. near 100mph traps in the cool weather. another guy i know has TPIS TPI base SLP runner and runs 13.6's at 100mph or near that on street tires. 1.9x 60's but he has stock converter and 3.70 gears
slicks/radials will put you near 13.5's i would guess. i'll find out for yah as i'm gettin slicks soon
