hi ,
been trying to suss out this system over the last two days and have been told tps is better than map with a wilder cam .
can some one tell me the advantages , the way i see it is that the map system creats lulls and highs where you dont need them but the tps knows exacty what your doing.
am i right
i have a dolly sprint with lairy cam and dellorto 45's.
this kind of stuff the germans were just developing
tps over map

...explains it all pretty succinctly.
With twin 45's, I'd suggest a TPS unless you're into doing a lot of pipework...

of course some wiseguy always comes in with a different opinion...
i have a 1565cc renault R16 motor with twin weber DCOEs. i drilled a hole in each runner, tapped in a piece of brass tube, made a small plenum out of brass sheet, ran vac hose from the 4 runners to the plenum. one tube out to the MJ sees dead steady vacuum. the cam is stock, but my hunch is that no matter how wild your cam, i wouldnt think it would introduce enough pulsation to upset this arrangement (on account of the motor being, what?, 2litre?).
it may well be that a TPS is easier to fit, and a better solution for that reason, but my feeling is that MAP option is still completely viable. i bent and soldered the plenum, but you could just as easily glue the tubes into any small tin or plastic box eg an abs electronics hobby box for instance.
