especially the notes at the bottom about Things that DON'T WORK

 

Dang I ordered before I seen the posts I'll put it on and find out might as well already spent the 25 I'll sell it to my friend that swears by them if it don't work lol

 

Some people swear the air foil works...some people say its a waste of money. If you want it use it.

 

Thank u 86 I'm gonna start posting pics of my car soon as I figure out how lol

 

I'm going to warn you you won't feel a difference in the "butt dyno". There is a general list of first mods to do to try and open these engines up.

I usually host through photo bucket. Its easy. You can only attach so many pics to the board but with photo bucket you can post all the pictures you want

 

What all do u have done to the car right now over stock besides the air foil ??! Mabey we can come up with some better mods that u will actually feel an improvement over stock !!

 

Ok well it all started when I bought my GTA for $1600 about 5 months ago when I went to look at it the I pull in the guy runs up and starts it I could hear a wineing sound thinking oh its the belt came to mind well everything sounded good so I paid cash got gas this thing ran like crap due to sitting for 3 years so I get gas then drive about 22 miles to do an oil change I wanted to do it before he started the car but to late there was maybe a quart in my poor 5.7 tpi changed the oil ran great for about 5 hours then got rod knock pulled rebuilt it .40 over flat top pistons mild cam the shop doing the work said they put a 400 crank in but have no way to confirm it runs great now I can spin my 245/50/16s "just put new 255s on there yesterday" anyway I can smoke em threw my auto 700 r4 threw 3rd so my mods as of now a manifold back exhaust no cat into a cherry bomb pro series muffler sounds great stock intake set up with k&n round filter msd street fire coil New msd cap and rotor New plug wires with plugs 180 thermostat air foil coming I'm stuck on where to go now

 

Try using some of these........ to make your posts easyier to read.


If they 'put a 400 crank in there' they would have also changed the pistons and you would have a 383. This would also require some tuning of the ecm.

What are the specs for the mild cam? TPIs are picky about cams.

Did you get any recipts, or a list of what parts were actually used in the rebuild? How much did it cost?

 

Dataloging and the injector size tells a story as well.

 

For the motor build cost 2100 it just says performance rv cam see the fright company they had me ship my motor with misplaced my motor for 3 weeks it was sitting in the wrong shop so they gave me a discount and they said they would throw in some extra goods what they say and have done could be a different story all I know is my car idles around 450-500 rpm and runs great

 

If you have a stock tpi manifold I would do runners and port the base and plenum. Then a decent set of headers.

 

If you believe all the seller claims out there there is 500p to be gained with $10 bolt-ons

As observed in the sticky at top of page

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tpi/...-also-tps.html

The seller on the air foil is not lying , it does improve airflow as proven by tests

Stock TPI/LT1 48mm Throttle Body w/o airfoil -- 783.0 cfm
Stock TPI/LT1 48mm Throttle Body w/ airfoil -- 821.9 cfm

but if your TB is not a power restriction now , increased available airflow will not help it any ;
given a 350 ci engine @ 6K can only suck 600 cfm

 

The air foil has been proven to -ONLY- gain--->2WHP<---

 

Ok so will the air foil help with what I've got? And should I port the runners and stuff myself or have someone do it? And if anyone can post a do it yourself link for porting? Pics and step by step instructions would be amazing..

 

Porting the stock runners is pointless. There's isn't enough metal to make them any bigger. You need a set of SLP runners. Port them. Match the plenum and lower manifold to the runner port size. You can port at home. Just take your time

 

Where can I get slp runners and what do they run price wise?

 

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sle-20002
MAY not be exactly what you need. Read all descriptions very carefully and if you can't figure it out ask

looks like 317 bucks roughly

 

Would I have to do a 9th injector delete?

 

Those runners have a 9th injector provision

 

They can also be found here http://www.lmperformance.com/brand.a...ords=20&sort=p

That one is for cars without the 9th inj

http://www.lmperformance.com/brand.a...ords=20&sort=p

And this is for cars with the 9th inj

 

It just sent me to a blank page every time I clicked it? Are they worth 300?

 

If you have a built stroker with a decent cam, yes you definatly could use sone ported slp runners, or a stealth ram for that matter.

You really need to find out what's inside that block.

 

The links are working for me. I plan on going to a HSR eventually to ditch the long runners

 

They are now and why HSR set up?
