Re: Tpi
You could bore out the throttle body and plenum. Or did you do that? Does it have the stock fuel pressure regulartor. You could stick and after market one. What about injectors? A good pcm tune is always a plus.
Just noticed that your a/c was yanked. Good thing its getting nice and cool here in florida. Of course your heater box is gone too...

Re: Tpi
if you go to thirdgen.org and then to the classified section there is all kinds of stuff that people are selling on there. Why dont we have a classifieds section?

Re: Tpi
Here the link
http://store.summitracing.com/defaul....asp&x=53&y=12 I was really gonna get this when i planned to rebuild a an L98, but i'm going with the an LT1, possible LS1 swap. Part # HLY-7540P is for the polished one, which is about $550. $300 for non-polished. From what i've read one thirdgen.org, the stealth is one the best aftermarket intake system you can get for the Tpi. I say go for it dude!!!!!!!

Re: Tpi
Which is so very true. You will also have to the fuel rails, which come seperately, for about $170. Then the AFPR which is about another $40, is a worth getting aswell. By the wrightz28, i just got my acceptance letter to the school, so it's now official that i will be going to WyoTech. Boy i can't wait!!!!

Re: Tpi
Still sitting in the street smashed side, flat tire, pile of leaves and no where to go, pretty sad. I finally scooped my project car and one side of the garage back together, now I have to get another car retitled in order to get it out so I can put the 'maro in. And now temps are supposed to drop to the teens joy. You can plan all you want, but when noone follows through everything is garbage.
Sorry '88 not jack'n your thread.

Re: Tpi
Yeah, i ain't jacking it either dude. Wrightz28, i know what you mean, when you start it, and shits starts falling apart, it takes awhile to piece it back together. When i was tryin to get this LT1 and T56 from the yard at some reasonable prices ($550 for motor, $625 for tranny), i began saving for them. Then bills came in, all the money was spent, and what do you know, the junk yard decided to up the prices on motor/tranny, which is now at $1295/$1000. Sucks man. I still haven't did a couple of things i needed to do for my camaro, that were supposed to be done about 2 months ago.
