I say go with the tpi because you'll be the only one that has it and it looks bad a$$.

But the real reason i say tpi is i want to buy the airgap intake from you - hahaha

Seriously how much you want for it if you decide to use the tpi? if i can get a little money saved up we could do it at the swap meet if your coming, and have made up your mind by then.

low 84, Darn you must have alot of free time. This post is really old. I sold the TPI. I'm keeping the Air Gap Intake to use until I go FI. Not sure when but it will be a very long time.
