TPI is the way to go
Just got my 91 Z28 Camaro converted back to tpi from a carb setup. And I will tell you what a difference. The carb setup was fast, but it's faster now. It pulls hard all the way to 5000 rpm, I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
Oh it's a 350 with a 5 speed. I'm guessing about 325 hp, I'm running 24lb injectors, egr delete, larger cam, 305 heades, headers, and 3" cat free exhaust. I didn't built the motor, so I don't know the specs.
I want to thank everyone that helped me out and that I purchased parts from. You guys made this swap easy.

Re: TPI is the way to go
How much did it end up setting you back? Im wanting to do a stealth ram swap. The whole intake is only $400 or so for my Vortec heads, same as just the vortec TPI base. But all the rest of the stuff I need just seems like it will nickel and dime me to death.

Re: TPI is the way to go
No the car was an original TPI, so the fuel pump was good. I even left the original harness in, and fixed it. I was using the holley bypass fuel pressure regulator on the carb setup.
I think I'm gonna need to get posi. The tires just spin tooooooo easy now. LOL even with the subframe connectors and adjustable bars.

Re: TPI is the way to go
Nice to hear but it's the way to go back in 1992. I have both ls1 84 z28 and a tpi 87 gta . It's like night and day. Join the dark side
