Information for your Chevy small block fuel injection system-
TPI swapping into an older vehicle. Click here to start
Also information for LT1 and the LSx-Gen III engines (scroll down)
Since its inception in 1985, The Tuned Port Fuel Injection system has captured the imagination of performance enthusiasts. With its sleek low profile, high tech styling, powerful torque and unlimited hop up capability, it is no wonder, over twenty years later, it has become one of the most popular swaps. Although there are many books and articles written on technical aspects and basic swap information, there is very little in the way of what has been published in those "nickel and dime" details that could either make or break your enthusiasm in installing a tpi in a non-tpi vehicle. I hope the information here will help guide you in making your tpi swap a successful one.
