I guess I would have to ask (Which setup are you looking at that is just a couple of hundred more than the base for the TPI vortec heads (which is around $429.00)? Just about everything I have seen with the word Holley on it starts in the word formation of thousand, rather than hundred. I already have a complete L-98 motor with the TPI unit that has been refurbished to install into a streetrod. However, I am going to change the power curve by going to vortec heads and update the intake and TPI runners, as well as install different rocker arms to update the air flow.
