Great! Now ditch that crappy hood insulation. Its costs about $20 new from the dealer. It will make a HUGE difference in appearance.

That isnt custom. It came w/all Formulas that had the TPI. Call your local pontiac dealer (not Chevy, theirs were different) and tehy should help you out

Personally I think it's *****. Yeah the runners painted red, are cool but all the wires and vacuum being red is just rice...

BLADE:
Are you kidding? Mine is *****? Your TPI has pink runners and throttle plate with yellow plug wires sitting on chrome valve covers. That is the KING of rice.

The Edelbrock Runners are obviously the best looking out there. Yes, i have the baseplate too. As far as performance wise, im not sure about how much difference they made cause i modded the engine all at once. Heads, cam, headers, rockers, base, runners, etc...Im getting a nasty lound sucking sound somewhere in there, and im not sure where its coming from. It seems like the base/runners mating area. Im not sure if i didnt tourque em down right or the casting is goofed up. I'll tell you guys as it comes along. But the good news is the car is running phenomenally. 386 hp TPI!! And its only a 355!!!!!!
