$$TPI$$

I got my car back today! origonally a 305 TBI...now a L98 350 TBI. Due to lack of time, I had the people put the TBI on because it would have taken them much much longer to figure out the TPI (they were doing this out of a backyard garage..only cost $300)..But anyways, I know the car will run much better and stronger with the tuned-port...But I havent the time nor money to do this.So what do you guys think I could get moneywise for this TPI? It has everything fromwiring harness to ECM....everything needed for a TBI-TPI swap...remember this is for a 90 L98 350...So whacha think?

i have seen em on ebay going for anywhere from 6 to 900 dollars so figure 750 or so. youd be surprised, i wouldnt spend that much on a stock intake setup...but someone will. take a look through ebay in ebay motors section. last one i saw was at 600 with 2 days left and there were like 6-8 bids on it when i last checked.

Complete TPI systems are running about $400 on our very own forsale board. Everything seems to cost more on E-bay. Why not just hold on to the TPI, read up on it, learn how to do it yourself and then install it. No hurry as long as the car is running.
