Trick Flow or Edelbrock?
Which intake should I go with? The Trick Flow Steet Heat Or the Edelbrock RPM? I am going to be running the car on the street but will be running at the track some too.
He are the specs of my car:
Stock Shortblock
Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads
Vortech S-Trim
42lb Injectors
5 speed
373 gears

The air gap is a dual plane carbed intake, thats not going to work well with his throttle body and injectors. WTF are you thinking?
I personally like the Holley II for a traditional EFI intake, but a spider would be real choice.

dont go with the tfs steet heat it will be a restriction with your set up personally i wouldnt go with the edelbrock rpm either
go with the holley or the rpm 2 both are more money than the ones you are looking at but on your engine there will be a big horsepower difference between them!

a few months ago mm&ff did an article on their stolen goods 93 cobra with a n/a 347 they took off a tfs track heat and replaced it with an edelbrock rpm 2 and gained significant power look it up it will convince you to spend the extra money especially with a vortech coming into play

I suppose you dont know how to do anything but look at a catalogue and flip to 5.0 and order parts.

no where in his post did he say anything about switching to carb tho..so suggesting a carb intake wasnt the best choise..i too would second the holley.. its a nice flowing piece, and is good on supercharged motors..my buddy runs one on his 92 306..and made just short of 400hp to wheels..N/A

I doubt you even know what you mean when you say "its a nice flowing piece" and "good on supercharged motors" What does that even mean? Generic rhetoric does not convey confidence.

Dude you are all idiots. You can keep your fi and have that. Do I have to do all the thinking for you? Elbo, drill out the nitrous bosses, get an adapter for the fuel rail hold downs.....done.

stop being arrogant and explain yourself next time so others don't chime in and tell you otherwise.

So tell us idiots why the RPM Air Gap is the way to go Professor.
Yeah that would be real smart to use a dual plain manifold for EFI, NOT. If you wanted to convert a carb intake it would be wise to use a single plain manifold (it doesn't have a huge air flow restictor) i.e. the spider.
The baffle in a dual plain manifold would typically cause a tuning issue because the air flow that the MAF measured would be interupted after the TB. Not only would this cause a rich condition in the cylinder it will decrease power. You savy?
So what angle did you drill out your nitous bosses for the injector (hint, hint)? Post up some pictures of your RPM Air Gap converted to a EFI. Lets see some of your great fabrication skills cheif.
