BTW - the Edelbrock might be the top dog for the 4000-7200 range and staying on the cheap. The Logan sheetmetal seems to be the top dog in this range but you could buy 2-3 complete Edelbrock setups for the cost of a Logan. There is more to it than just runner length, you have to also figure the cross section and the TFS has the largest cross section I have seen yet. Its ports last I remember could feed a 351 Cleveland head they were so big.

Nick, if you were looking to go turbo in the future, but don't want to give up NA power, would you do the TFS, the Edelbrock, or just stick with the stock plastic and upgrade the TB/plenum?

Well for NA at the moment I like the PI up to 6500-7000 shifts, Edelbrock 7000-7500 shifts and TFS for 7500+ shifts. Blower/turbo you can drop those RPM specs the higher the boost level. It might be possible to do an honest 700RWHP turbo on the plastic intake and street drive it everyday, we should know this year sometime. We already did 620RWHP with only 12 degrees of timing and a hurt motor. Meth kit and some real timing its possible I believe.

What RPM and how much nitrous? The Edelbrock is the best nitrous intake IMHO.

Its very possible, i am using the stock plastic intake and am making 710rwhp and 750tq and drive it every single day. im at only at 11 deg of timing, lol! this thing has a lot more in it, but i was out of injector and now i plan on putting the edelbrock intake on. I run e85 though. **** meth.

From what I've been reading and gathering from Nick, seems like the best intake for you might be the TFS manifold. I think for a turbo build thats what I'd be using.

Yup it its but its nearing the limit of what you can do I have learned. We hit 700RWHP on the plastic with ~20lbs on pump gas and meth but as you are learning the RPM peak is getting low. I think the Eddy is a good choice for a 7200RPM max turbo motor. I wish I had E85 where I am at, there is another 2~5% power gain from it over pump gas from what I have been seeing and thats before any other gains from compression. I am building a 4V Eaton motor where the owner has E85, so we are going with 10:1 compression to really wake it up.
