T.p.i???

I've got an '86 IROC that I dropped a small block 400 into. It's putting out somewhere between 450 and 500 horsepower. Now I've got a carb on it right now but I was wondering if TPI would handle that kind of horsepower meaning they were made for a 220-240hp 350?

TPI can make good power, you would need to upgrade the intake base and plenums though to flow more air.

The only problem with them, is that the intake runners are so long and it makes great power and torque in lower rpms, but starts to give up around 4500-5000 rpms.
