I have a 1986 TA with a TPI and I wanted to modify my engine, but I do not want to mess around with all the computer stuff. I was wondering if anyone knew a good tuning shop around here.

what cha got done so far??? the MAF cars have always been known to be pretty mod friendly for the most part anyway
Well, at the very least, I have an interesting back story.
Most likely you have a 305 TPI. If so, I would save your money and put it towards a different engine.
2007 Lexus LS460
2013 Toyota Tundra Rock Warrior
2011 Toyota Camry SE V6
meh, restore your 86 and buy my '88 for a fast toy, 355 already included.

It had cat-back on it when I bought it, but I am thinking of putting headers and y-pipe on.

I mostly want to keep my car stock looking, I want to make my TPI faster.
well the stock TPI w/ MAF has always been known to be mod friendly.
first order of business would be to build up a 355 or better on a stand, and be gone with that 305.
sadly '86 was known for being the weakest year of tuned port fuel injection.
honestly the stock 305 isn't worth spending any time on if you want a quick car. my girlfriends 2006 mariner that thankfully is leaving tommorow for a 06 Mustang (cylinders not yet decided) totally whupped up on my trans am. it was sad. very sad.

Friends don't let friends build 305's...

After they have been replaced with something bigger, they do make great small boat anchors and easily push out of the back of pickup trucks doing 70 mph!
2012 Cruze ECO M6 - Crystal Red- Just a little more boost than stock!
2001 Camaro SS - Rallye Red - In process.
you can put a 350 in with minor mods with no prob. you might want to get little bigger injectors though i think my brother bought inj from summit for $29.
I'm pretty sure they were accels
Hey 305's aren't that bad! I mean they can give newer 4cyls quite the run for their money.

And you should see the sparks, tumbling, taking out of mailboxes and chunks of asphalt that fly when the 70 mph assult happens!Originally Posted by Mr. Brett

Sounds a lot more exciting than anything it could accomplish while mounted in a vehicle!
I've been told that not many places tune those computers. you'll probably have to send the computer out.
that gives me an idea of what to do w/ the left over 305...
