Pat, you wouldnt happen to have a diagram on how all those ports are hooked up would you? Also, what is the stock fuel regulator on the TPI setup set at?

Thanks

That would be awesome pat! If you could take pics showing where the hoses for those ports run to and from. Also which ones you have blocked off. Oh and if you have time, maybe some pics on where you routed all the wiring.

Thanks a million!!

Would you happen to know, what size injectors came with my setup? Should I get larger ones?

Thanks

Is this the type of ESC I would need for my setup? Would I still need this if I had a MSD 6A ignition?

From what I've gathered on thirdgen.org and elsewhere, you need to get a knock sensor from the appropriate induction type, ie. get one from an 85-89 setup if you're running MAF, from a speed density year if you're running SD. Based on that, I'd guess that the knock sensor you pictured won't work.
