Re: questions for converting to TPI

looks great but at $380 its quite a hit on the old pocket book for sure. There has to be a more cost effective solution. I think a trip to the junk yard is in order. What tanks came with a tBi system That fit between the frame rails?
I know that a tBi tank will work, givin I can find one to fit the frame rails, I guess all have to do is switch out the tBi pump with a tPi pump. The question is were they baffled or not?
This is a hard one. I guess its good we are clarifying this.
If I cant find a solution maybe the only other option is use an external pump with a bottom feed tank. Such this aftermarket foam filled pro street tank. I already have this tank, just not sure if I can make it work. Will it? and does the foam act like a baffle? The summit site says "foam filling to prevent fuel slosh and aeration" so Im guessing that means it does but Im not sure how well it works in comparison to true baffles.
