Yes finally a review I've been waiting thinking if porting my tpi set up or buying this. Hope it's great I will buy one soon if it is.

I’m glad to see someone looking into these. I’ve been eyeballing them for the last few weeks. It looks much like the older TPIS Mini Ram although I have never laid hands on one. They were out of stock when I was trying to locate one for a job. From my understanding those TPIS units worked extremely well.

TPIS mini rams have a shorter runner but are made to work with the oem style throttle bodies.

I have both the real deal and the Chinese version at my shop. The chinese version is better in casting quality all the way around. Edelbrock really needs to step up their casting quality from the 1900s era sand cast stuff they are charging 2-3x the money for. Both have one flaw and that is both were machined for a Ford throttle body pattern that Edelbrock uses for their $700 90mm TB. For 99.95% of us using this manifold, would be better to have the GM 4 bolt LS pattern rather than the goofy pattern it was machined with.

good video, thanks for posting. I'd just go with the small-cap distributor, as used in the TPI L98 IROC. agreed, the integrally-mounted coil is a nice feature of the big-cap HEI. gasket port-match intake flange for sure. will be interested in how it all integrates with your GM TPI computer.

We are mocking up this exact intake right now for a 383 or a 406 ,not sure winch we will go with until after it is ported and flowed with a billet throttle body! Let us know how you finish it up!

Why not rotate the distributer 180 degrees? It doesn't care which pin is used for #one.
@E.T.GARAGE

It's the diameter of the distributor that's the problem not the position, no matter what direction you turn it the diameter is the same.

Or better rotate it 90degrees so the service is on the engines right.

@@E.T.GARAGE No the tach drive sensor service extends outward from the side and needs to be rotated at least 90 degrees to clear the manifold. No grinding will be then be necessary. Google a Chevy hei distributer and look at the picture. David

To me, the most important aspect of this video is that the manifold is made in Communist China. I have NEVER seen quality on something made in China. It doesn't matter if the item is mechanical or electrical. All the Chinese care about is how to manufacture a copy cat of an American designed/built item and make it cheaper. You can't manufacture something cheaper without giving up quality. It doesn't matter how much cheaper the Chinese version is if you can't get a quality product. I will not buy something made in China. It's junk. Communist China is one of our main enemies and I will not send my money to them.

Unfortunately almost anything you buy has china parts in it, lets say I go buy the complete pro flow xt fuel injection system its going to have parts in it made in china.
