Sorry, but i can only agree to a point, a "modified" tpi won't be far behind a MR at holding things back. (Key word "Modified")
AFR's main selling point was how they maintained velocity and increased airflow...right???
I've "beat this dead horse long enough", I've done the research, I stand behind my posts..
Make sure you're NOT standing behind someones elses opinions, or hearsay, get some numbers for yourself...
I'm still trying to figure out how a MR can blow up a motor tho..

I don't understand why a MR would blow up a motor either Anyway, since you're going at this from a budget stand point, you really should look into the stealth ram. Good results for a reasonable price. You can almost pick up the entire setup for the price of a set of SLP TPI runners.

tpi+afr 195's+****ty internals=350 hp?=probably okay motor

mini-ram+afr195's+****ty internals=450-500 hp?=blown up motor

As far as "hear say" no i dont have any hard numbers. As far as i know and everything ive read it is virtually impossible to get past the 12's with a tpi no matter how ported? I could be wrong but thats the best i have been able to establish. I would like to see a well ported tpi flow benched against a mini-ram and see which one flowed better and by how much.

You don't need flow bench results, the mini ram will out flow pretty much any long runner TPI setup.

Tell that to this guy, he wanted evidence, i dont have any, seems neither do you, but that is the general consensus.
