Does anyone make these for the tpi runners to replace the runner gaskets or would it be impossible with the clearances.
it sure would help with intake temps-- that plenum gets damn hot after only like 5 min of driving.

From filter to intake valve at WOT at 5K rpm, is like 5 msec. The back of the intake where the air stackes waiting for the valve to open again is about 600dF. The coolness might help a little at idle and cruise, but wouldn't look for any real big gains, but that ain't to say not worth trying.

 

true i figured that the time of flow from ambient to valve was short but the engine cant run at WOT all the time.
the fuel/timing curves and such are set at all kinds of throttle positions.
besides - they sell them for carbs and the ford 5.0 intake and seem to be legit for both applications.

 

They wont work for our engine setup.

On toip of the fact that they won't work for TPI it would also make the runners longer and loewer the already low rpm range of the TPI system(not what you want)
