I think this has been posted before but here it is again for the newb. Your input as to the accuracy of this article is encouraged. It sounds like a flat out advertisement for TPIS to me.

Just my .o2, but TPIS is one of the pioneers of computer controlled high performance as we know it today. As a matter of fact they one of the only companies left that pays any attention to the L98. They have there flaws, don't get me wrong. They push those Bosch Platinum+4's which are junk, and why wouldn't they. They are in the business of making money.

That article covers pretty normal mods that have been around quite a while.

Is there more to this link than I'm getting, Ron? I'm trying to understand your point. While I've had it for awhile, I finally got around to reading their "Insiders Hints" book which covers mostly the L98 TPI system. While there were a few things and/or recommendations I disagreed with, overall it was a good read and definitely expanded my understanding of some things relating to EFI and managed engines. I think their overall approach is good and worthwhile for those who have done their homework and take nothing as gospel.

Can you list some of the things that you disagreed with?

I will not advertise for them, but I have used a lot of there parts and the outcome has been positive.
