to do a TPI setup, itll probably run you around 1000 for everything. I did a tpi swap into a 87 monte and I dealt with piecing the setup together, custom harness and custom chip.

a decent carb would be about 350 and figure on buying a good intake manifold.

Theres also TBI which gives you the benifit of fuel injection without the full hassle and cost of TPI. You can get a complete TBI setup for under 500 easily.

TPI is really a novelty, alot for the look for most people. I was going to do TBI in my iroc but i decided to keep the electronic quadrajet sinc eim not going for performance and it works fine now anyways.

oh, also, what car is it going into? did that car ever come factory with tpi? that would make it a lot easier if so.
