TPI in the Vector...
Not really 3rd gen related but Who says TPI can't make serious power?
I just read this article, and guess what engine they used in the Vector? At 650hp, whether or not it is true... https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...onday_March_25
Look at the runners, they appear to be conical in shape, not tubular, which would actually help with the resonating frequency of the tubes.

With the single blade TB it almost looks like a FIRST intake rather than an actual TPI. I am thinking that the tubes is just an optical illusion

Re: TPI in the Vector...
The 3 things that tell me it's a First, or something extremely similar......Throttle body......width of the plenum....(2) bolts bolts between the front pair and rear pair of runners, since each pair is separate on the First.
