Have you got an L98 TPI you want more power out of ??? (Page 2/12)

Another thread becomes Aaron vs. The World...

Somebody smell something? Oh, Aaron decided to share his "wisdom."

Furthermore, Tom's car isn't an automatic - so what the fark are you talking about? Setting shift points simply means the point he chooses to shift at. Try basic reading comprehension before you go off in your mad rush to pwn somebody. You only make yourself look like more of a fool. (and I didn't think that was possible)

The idle set up for the TPI is to use the 90 modle ECM as you no longer have the electronic spark control in the engine compartment as it was moved inside the ECM .The cold start injector was done away with as the ECM adds extra fuel for the start cycle. Where the cold start injector was can be blocked off. The EGR valve can be blocked off & programed out. The ECM can be programed for speed densidy [ no mass air flow meter] only a MAP is used. Or it can be set up for MAF where both a mass air flow meter & a MAP is used. IF you use the small HEI distributor the coil can be mounted any where . The corvette had larger runners. The driveability ,the simplisty & relibity of the TPI is hard to beat.

Okay first of all Aaron, as others have said Toms car is not a automatic, its a 5 spd. getrag. He has a tach with a shift light, so most likely he set his shift light at 5900 and he simply said that is his shift point. And telling him that he doesnt know anything about his air/fuel ratios or his optimium shift points is definitely not your place to say and you dont $hit about him personally so you dont have any right to go off saying things like that.

Hey................the Village Idiot returns again, I feel so honored by your presence !

I know it's beyond your means, but you should try to read up on someone's car before you make posts like that. Again you proved you don't know what the hell your talking about.
Now go back to RFT and see if you can stir them up.

Well this was a pretty good thread until the dip $hit showed up.

I remember the day when there were always good threads like this everyday on PFF.

I think it's time to tell Aaron we are tired of him ruining threads that we are enjoying.

Aaron......... GO........... AWAY !

I hear what your saying. My shift light is also set about 3-400 rpm lower than peak cause there is no way i can shift it fast enough. So if i set my shift light earlier i can hit the shift at the right rpm.

One thing though... How the hell do you pump $27,000 USD (27 THOUSAND) into a Fiero?
Funny thing is that myself and a friend had a "how much money have you spent on your car" talk and we both max'd out at approx $16,000 CDN thats with a full body off paint job, custom suspension, rims and wheels, upgraded brake package, new engine, new tranny, axles, redone interior, stereo and all the little bits inbetween...

Where did you spend the other $10,000?

It could have easily been spent on the engine build, higher quality parts, labor for work, etc.

Interesting test. Would like to see it on a chassis dyno with accessories, though. Adding drivetrain loss, etc. , those numbers aren't quite as impressive as first glance would suggest.

You know that little voice that says it can't be done? I duct-taped mine's mouth shut and pushed it down a flight of stairs.

HeHe, my car is not even a show stopper and I bet I have over 16,000 into the car over the years. Granted that is 12 years, 5 motors and 5 tranny's, 3 diffrent sets of wheels and countless tires.

But back to the topic.

The L98 is a great motor to hop up, and if my 2.8 had not gone south and the 4.9 finding it rather easily (engine came from a running car got the entire harness, ecm and all the goodies for $695 USD) I probably would have went with a SBC. But with any luck cam and intake should get me up to a real V8 power curve. Once done, I will put it on a Dyno and see what it makes.
