TPI is the predecessor of MPFI, MPFI works better than TBI or TPI because of the way it fires the injectors. I'm gonna do my EFI388 with the same manifold and a Megasquirt system just like I got for the V6. With the Megasquirt you can also run DIS if its to your fancy, and they all come with a built in nitrous window switch. so by doing it that way you get more options and your knocking the price down $1,000.
See, I don't see it that way. A lot of Vortec headed cars are/were fuel injected so adapting a setup to his 400 doesn't seem like it would be that expensive.

For the $2-3k that the Holley system costs he would be better off just buying a used LS1 or something like that.
