you need to think future also, what range of rpm do you want you power from? My buddy has a simialr setup and went with a the e303 sounds nice and loves rpms very good idle too, slight lope, sounds great

intake 499 exhaust 499

i went alittle larger on the on my car i have all Trick flow,
intake 499 exhaust 510
good mid range and higher rpm power, rougher idle

see i am a believer of staying close to one brand (opinoin only) Love my trickflow

u better have some more of something cause that intake and injector size is a little much.

***on a side note, we need a sticky about cams. there are way too many of the same questions going around.***

well i use to have a trick flow stage 1 cam in another car and i liked it but i felt like i could get a better one im looking to get the most horsepower out of my combination possible
the reason i have 30# inj. is because i bought the intake, tb, and injectors used
Do you think the gasket matched Gt40's will bea good performance head i know where i can sell them for what i have in them should i get trickflow twisted wedge heads or just keep what i have i dont want to spend double the money for 10-15 hp what do you think

i have that same intake and it flows alot, i went with the twisted wedge heads ported , as of now u really only need 24# injectors but the 30s should work, might have a hard time on warm start up. Oh is your MAF calibrated to the 30s?

no not yet, see if getting all of these parts before i go back together with the motor but i will get the calibration tube at the same time as i get the rest of my parts

do you know how many cfm the street intake flows?
how does your car run with the tw heads do you have dyno numbers or track times?

havin the car dyno tuned this spring...i went on trickflow website awhile back...i dont see it now but they listed all the specs your asking also they had a test engine with my setup believe it or not. 190lph fuel pump, tw heads, upper and lower, stage one cam and the same compression ratio. they were makin 360 hp give or take. I recently added a paxtona and went with #45 injectors and a 255lph in tank. The car loves rpm! I do wish the upper plenum was smaller though, if you go with trickflow heads and intake, u will have to get certain valve cover (trickflow)if the cover is too high the throttle linkage wont wount properly i bought a upper intake spacer(but watch it when u close ur hood! very tight under there, need a bigger cowl)

if you dont already have a mass air meter, look into getting a 90mm ford lightning meter, have a speed shop burn a chip with data transfer and to the injector size( the nice thing with this meter is its under 100.00 and it can recalibrated and bought at any ford dealership)
