Tell me why I shouldn't replace TPI with FiTech

FiTech has a new cheaper model for $795 good to 400hp. I already have a intake and non computer control dist and not sure if I'd have to get a reg with the factory pump since it is efi.


Basically how else am I gonna get a easy or self learning system for my tpi for the same or less?

Re: Tell me why I shouldn't replace TPI with FiTech

You likely cant do self learning for cheaper. RBob's EBL i believe has some ve learn features and its 400-500$, works in stock tpi wiring systems. Thats an alternative


But you have to consider your goals. Tpi has its performance limits. Just about any intake swap on a stock 350 tpi motor makes abit more power. Aftermarket tpi stuff is rare now and expensive. Alternative port injection intakes are available and work well but still fair amount of money and still need tuned.
If you have no intentions of learning to tune yourself, and doing basic engine mods- mild ish combination, then fitech may be a good system for you

EBL I'll check them out thx.


I'm well aware of tpi limits and how to make it better, I do agree it is the most expensive sectional, poor stock hp performing, low bolt on upgrade gain intake ever I think LOL. I've ported the plenum and am using SLP runners ported & cut down some, base is milder ported, but it's a mild combo. I'm willing to learn but just trying to figure out what direction.


All that said my car runs pretty well for a TPI car and everyone keeps asking if I have an LT1, it's a C4 btw. I'm at the point I need to start tuning or change it out for carb(I build my own) or get another efi system.
