well my new First tpi system arrived today, and i was wondering if there is anything i should do to it before i install it. Also is there any tips i need to know to make the installation easy.

here is the specs of the rest of my driveline


1987 l98 flat top pistons bored .030
trick flow heads 195 cc
comp cams xr269hr-12
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...8&autoview=sku
1995 t56
3.23 rear gear

 

although i dont have any tips to installing it, Ive always been interested in this manifold so keep us updated with pics!!!

 

Me too! Seems like there are very few dyno runs or anyone w/ experience with it. The price seems good, so I'm tossing it around vs. the HSR...

 

Just picked one up.

Had a hard time finding pics of the manifold, so I thought I'd share some.

 

Here is what Ken had to say when I asked why tere was not much info out there.

Very positive experience dealing with Ken.


Yes, Carson it will fit under the hood we have quite a few out there on the 84 and newer corvettes. However, if for some reason it does not work out for you we will take it back and give you a full refund. The reason there is not a lot of info out there on the first intake, is that the first intake has only been back out for 5 yrs now. The first intake was actually developed in 1989 and there were many mag articles out there in the early 90's. We purchased the tooling in 2002 and began producing it again. The other intakes you refer to have had the luxury of being around for a long time, the companies are much larger than we are and have a lot of connections in the media, not to mention a way bigger advertising budget. The first is 100% American made and we back our intake up with a life time warranty and a satisfaction guarantee, which is in writing on our web site. We do accept credit cards from the link on our web site through paypal, which is how they take them. We will have a pic of the fuel rail set up on the web site this week. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks Ken

 

A few of us over at Corvetteforum have picked these up.
