Re: Can i put NOS on a 88 tpi 305

I have had a 150hp shot on my stock 88 IROC tpi 305 for 15 years with no problems. The motor now has a 104k with still full compression. Just make sure you run a wet kit like the NOS 5151. You have problems with the dry kits. 50hp shot is to small and you will barely notice it. Start with a 100 shot. I don't even think you can buy a 50hp kit for tpi.

If this is the kit you are looking at it is junk

Look closely there is no throttle body plate just some chessy spray nozzle that I am guessing they will tell you punch a hole in the intake track to insert. On a MAF car I would always run a plate system!! Get the NOS kit!

You want to blow up your MAF sensor and intake track use the sniper kit. It's the same junk with no plate for the throttle body. It's cheap for a reason.
