I've owned a few TPI cars. They make great street engines but not good drag engines at all. The intake design is great for low rpm torque and horrible for high rpm power. Running in stock you'd be stuck with the TPI manifold. Even with a huge cam good luck getting it to sing over 6k. That would crutch your gearing really bad. Ask around to see if anyone successfully runs TPI engines in Stock.
