The L98 TPI has been called a pig on these pages, a suckling one at that. Well, I just love my pork.

I don't see so much L98 bashing here. On CF, it's what they do.
I think the TPI looks cool. And even in stock form, it's fun for a guy like me. Yours looks great. I hope to get there one day. |

Dumb question:
How do you add oil to your engine if your valve covers don't have an oil cap hole? |

The runners were part of a project that included 52mm t.b., port plenum and runners, tpis big mouth intake, 24# injectors, adj. fuel reg, 1.6/1.5 roller rockers and some emissions delete. Power improved throughout the rpm range and the motor is still pulling strong when it shifts at about 5500rpm. The SLP runners while larger dia. than stock are only slightly shorter. I'm not an expert, but if that was the only mod. I wouldn't think low end torque would be affectd much in a negatory way. Oil fill through pcv grommet.
