TPI into an 84 SE (Page 4/4)

It drives great. I put in 350 LBS spring to reduce rear bump steer, because there's no sway bar in the rear. I thought it would be rough, but no. Maybe because there's new KYBs all around. It's no family car.

That TPS looks real close to the shock tower.

I guess the engine doesn't rock much if it's solid-mounted?

A piece of blue-tac could be used to confirm that a gap exists during 1st gear WOT / launch.

Yes it's pretty solid. If you look at the pic in my 06-22-2020 12:59 PM post above, there's a strut bar with heim joints at each end, from the back of the head to the engine cradle and all the mounts are solid. I checked it by stuffing Plasticine putty between the TPS and the tower and all is good.
Thanks for the input.

Good work mate!!! I'm very fond of the TPI system. I used to hopped them 305's that beat 350's every night!
That's the reason I built my manifolds the way I do, there's some TPI DNA in my intakes! Best wishes!
