What is the largest cubed sbc you know of running tpi, and what kind of power does it make? Details on the combo appreciated, of course. Thanks, Oldtimer.

Paul Pfatt Racing used to build large displacement TPIs back in the 80s. They built the following 454 small block and compared an extrude honed stock base w/AS&M Semi-Siamesed runners to the Lingenfelter SuperRam using the same extrude honed base as well as a Holley 750 carb on a single-plane intake. It used a set of large volume ported Bow-tie Phase VI heads (which I doubt flowed over 280cfm), solid roller 256/266 - .596/.582, uncapped 1 ¾” dyno headers. The small cross-sectional area of the extrude honed TPI base hurt the power on both long/longer runner TPI systems,, but didn’t do all that bad considering the average power from 2500 – 5500rpm. Too bad they didn’t test one of the old Air Flow Sensors TPI intakes (now know as FIRST Injections) - with its larger cross-sectional area and higher flowing base,,,, it would have really shined on this type combination.

RPM –- AS&M – SuperRam – 750 4-bbl
2500 - 242/511 - 232/489 --- 233/489
3000 - 317/556 - 312/546 --- 292/512

5500 - 500/478 - 519/496 --- 554/529
6000 ----------- 483/425 --- 550/482

Average power from 2500 – 5500
AS&M – 406/536
SuperRam – 411/538
750 4-bbl – 410/532 (427/526 from 2500 – 6000)

GM high tech performance did a write up on project Magnum TPI. It was a 396cid super ram motor. when bottom 12s and made 33xhp at the wheels.
