i just totalled my 96 Jeep Cherokee xj (dana 60s, 35in tires etc, heavily modded)

ive secured a new unibody, which will be excessively reinforced, caged....anyhow, i digress....

i knowi want to build a 383 stroker with a TPI style injection.
i want to use forged crank, rods and pistons on it, id like a goal of 450hp/500ftlbs, and id like to run it on the bottle for sand and mud with a 150 shot.

id like to hear manifold and intake recommendations. im leaning towards airflow research heads.

id like to know what you all think about the ACCEL SUPER-RAM intake w/ DFI? that sounds like a pretty sweet setup, and somethin ideal for me.
id like to build the engine with as flat as a power curve as possible, and be able to rev 6500rpm.

ok, lets hear it good ideas, bad ideas what?
we get alot of guys on our jeep boards simply posting xmas wish lists, which i assure you all this isnt. i need to start building a new ride like yesterday, and id he happy to keep yall posted on the buildup.
any ideas are welcome, just keep in mind id like to stay with a TPI style fuel delivery.
thanks very much

I have been studying different combinations of TPI builds for about 2 years now. TPI is a tricky system to use for high performance build ups but it can be done. Over the course of 2 years I have collected articles out of magazines only pertaining to TPI cars. Email me if you are interested in some info.

if you can locate a holley stealth ram you will save a ton of money and still have a great intake.
