88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

yea i know... soon it will not be my daily driver... the whole car with the new parts have less than 20,000 miles on it and i would like to keep it low miles and it being my weekend/show car eventually.... hopefully im buying a truck early next year and park the car and work it on.. i want to keep a sorta stock look but muscle it out at the same time.. i want my car in the next 10 to 20 years to be that really rare car on the street just like the 60's and 70's car of today... eventually i want to get a top notch paint job and re do my gta rims and polish the lips....although i will never sell it alot of people will appreciate the GTA as time goes by...

Here's mine

FireDemonSiC

Here is my TPI, which I am very proud of. Currently it has SLP runners with a port matched plenum, Holley AFPR and that's about it for now (Intake-wise anyways). In a month or two when it warms up I am going to be installing my ported base manifold with 22/lb injectors, top-end stainless steel bolt kit, braided fuel lines, aluminum underdrive pullies and open up the siamese more in the runners.

Rickman2k

here's mine, still building my truck but I got it running last Wednesday, sounds like a Hoover Vacuum on steroids when it's running with the Airfilter off

How do you like the Street & Performance Multiport? I've never seen that before, and I've been to their web site many times.

It's simply awesome, a lot like a HSR but so much better looking. the lower manifold is pretty much identical, being a weiand tunnel ram base.

I have it in my truck, it easily pulls way past 6K rpm

Awesome!

I may be one of the few who think so one but man those TPI engines are about as good looking of a factory setup ive ever seen! I was at a carshow over the weekend admiring one on a c4 vette and an older gentleman said it looked like an octopus. I was quick to disagree with him.
