I love my TPI. I put it in this summer. I bought an 86 camaro and took everything off of that that I needed. There were a few things that I had to get as well. I bought a Vehicle Speed Sensor and my air intake inlets from www.jagsthatrun.com. I also bought a fuel tank with an in-tank pump from FuelCellGuy. I had my chip reprogamed by Brian at www.tpichips.com. I bought the Helm manual for the 86 camaro and that helped a bunch. The manual was $65 but well worth it. I used the factory wiring harness and eliminated the things that I didn't need like the wipers, a/c, electric fan, and EGR.
This website has a lot of info on the swap too http://chevythunder.com/
You can pm me if you ever have any questions.
