So how were you running GRIP? Was it on the driver station? It's possible to run GRIP on a raspberry pi and then narrow the gap to communicate back to the robot.
The TK1 is what came via FIRST Choice last year, it's a bit smaller than the TX1 physically (at least the board is). It's also a slightly different architecture than the TX1.
At any rate, to your original question, there is no definitive guide for how to use a TX1/TK1 for FRC. These boards are meant more as development environments for companies seeking to build products using these chips and not as turn-key hobbyist robot solutions, even though many people are using them for that.
Some resources for you:
Awesome presentation by Greg McKaskle on vision in FRC:

Wiki for Jetson TX1 info (not always current but useful):

As close to a getting started guide as I could find for the TX1:

One more highly over-looked camera for FRC is the Sony Playstation Eye:

If you are just trying to improve framerate and latency... try to find out what the smallest possible frame size you can use is and still get back the data necessary to perform the task.
Someone else above asked about FRC code for the pixy:
