Question on 1990 5.0 IROC TPI swap

[64nailhead]

I am looking at my wife's Camaro and my Hellcat's piggy bank because the Terminator X is so damn tempting.

What is your wife's Camaro?

Thanks again for all the responses. I did some additional research, reviewed a bunch of stuff on third gen and spoke to a mechanic buddy. Looks like the 80's and 90's TPI are good systems but not for a beginner with minimal support. Looks like tuning these systems can be difficult.

I think the new modern EFI systems with self learning are more my speed.

1992 Camaro "The Lady Mullet" Z28

For those who have been following along with my ramblings over the years, you may have noticed that my darling girlfriend-turned wife has a sweet spot for Camaros. Her previous car was a 2002 B4C that served us well and donated its guts to make the wagon. After that car's demise I came to...

Aka the COVID Camaro.

Terminator X is truly a weekend install and running in 20 minutes. Then an 1hour of driving to put a tune on. If you keep the 700 trans, then speedo functionality continues as well. But if I know you, then you'll have a Holley 12" dash velcro'd in there.

Finding someone who knows/tunes TPI isn’t easy as eloquently suggested above. I found someone in my area(region?) that knew his stuff and was into it enough, or had enough knowledge from when he was, to tune mine. A street tune then dyno tune, was well worth it and wish I did it years earlier. Not night and day but noticeable enough. As stated thirdgen.org is probably the most beneficial forum for TPI info.

The only thing unique about tuning a TPI is the software navigation and the hardware involved. The theory is the same as tuning an LS or a Hellcat or whatever.
