    I swapped my Express to hydroboost and love it.

    A TPI will not even attempt to start at TBI pressure.

    You will need a F or B car passenger side bracket for the compressor.

    Like I said though, have personally done the swap on an older G-van and it really was not worth it. The torque curve is wrong for a heavy truck. You loose torque in the 1,800-2,800 rpm range compared to a good dual plane and the runners will choke the engine at about 5,000. You can rev to 6,500 with a decent cam, good heads and speings but the power stops building at 5,000. The TPI did not offer any real fuel economy benifit either since it is batch fire.
    I havent puchased anything and am still thinking about it. I'll be out of service for a while soon anyway with plenty of time to study it anyway.
    The motor redlines at 4500. I rarely even leave past 3500 anyway. But how do long runners reduce torque?
    BTW, is this the TB you are talking about:

    What manifold would you recommend with it? I would need EGR for emissions ( i am in TX, euless as well )

    What options are there for supercharging? i remember back then there were prochargers, whipples, and wynjammer. i see wynjammer is still around and selling.
