has any one done this? if you have do you have any results. I have a 350tpi. I am aware of the intake's restriction. Just curious. if it doesnt work that well i have an lt1 intake i may convert.

 

It'll run and drive.

But you'll be missing out on a bunch of power that could be had with a matching intake.

You can run it with a TPI style system as long as its all hogged out and upgraded.

A LT4 hot-cam would probably run great with a FIRST LTR setup.

 

How well would the lt1 intake work? and how high do you think it will pull w/ the stock intake

 

Max power at 5000 to 5500 I'd guess. Not much use spinning beyond that. The heads will hold it back a lot.

My stock head/cam/intake LT1 makes max power around 5k with all boltons. It's a b-body lt1, smaller cam than F and Y cars.

 

I used the LT4 Hot cam in my build, with TPI. I have fully siamesed SLP Runners 2.5 inches in siamesed in my stock base with the base ported to a 1205 Gasket. My heads are ported Iron Eagles. Here is the thread on the build.

I made 290/358 @ the wheels. The power under the curve is amazing. I absolutely love the combo.

 

Yeah, but your combo is no-where near close to what he's proposing.

Your combo is well matched, you've upgraded everything. TPI's weakness is the poor flowing heads and poor flowing stock intake. Without upgrading both of those a cam swap will leave alot of potential on the table.

3.8 TransAm did car he called "Thor". Thor was making some serious power and trapping very nicely. It was a vortec headed, ported TPI setup with a LT4 hot-cam.

The original poster's proposal of just doing the hot-cam and on a stock intake will produce very little gain and cause a whole bunch of problems.

 

I agree with what you are saying. Anytime you change cams you must do the supporting mods or its a complete waste of time
