Is there any way to make a TBI into a TPI?
Hey, I'm newer to the performance side of things (usually in the appearence boards)and I was just wondering if there is some way to make my TBI into a TPI? Whats involved and how much does it cost? Are there any other ways to make my car faster? Thanks, and sorry its a dumb question..

um you buy a TPI and put it on 
A stock TPI intake complete can go for about $500 but you will need to put in a higher pressure fuel pump(pain to do, so I'm told), and TPI computer

See the tech article on this website on how to do it. My dad did it to his 92 RS.

See the website. ICON is a group of performance oriented guys with a lot of technical car knowledge between us. Basically just an online club.
What were they bashing us about? Got a link?

www.corral.net they were talkin' smack about how some other company doing a turbo 4.6 Mustang was way better than the one related to icon or somthing like that. The big complaint was about cutting up the crosmember to make it work...
