Default AFR 165's

Well i decided to go with AFR 165's for my car instead of the track heat ones. After doing research on this website it seems the AFR's out perform TFS. Now i just gotta figure out what intake and cam to match. Was thinking of going with TFS stage 1 cam. Will ineed to do any modificactions or will they just bolt right on? Any suggestions on intake and cam? Not doing the carb route.

for the intake i would use a gt40 tubular, however it all depends on the plans for your car. Also in my opinion, i personally would go with the TFS over the afr 165's but im not going to get into that and i dont want to start an arguement. I also like the tfs cams, the comp cams, the xe series, etc. theres a wide variety of choices for cams. but for the intake a gt40 tubular is cheap and really nice, if you want something knew, try a holley systemax 2, or maybe a tfs street heat, or whatever, but it depends on what your using the car for.

Also what year is your black fox?

I hope your planning on getting a pro m maf calibrated for 24lbers too dont get c and l there junk and an adjustable regulator would be a good idea, dont get a bbk cuz it wont work at least mine wouldnt. Also a 190 pump would be a good upgrade before you do hci.

it allows you to adjust your fuel pressure....this allows you to get more power out of your combo because you are allowed to tune it more. It also will allow your car to be tuned properly so it doesnt run lean or rich

awsome, thanks for the help guys. Should i up my TB size from 70mm that i ordered? The cold air kit is 70mm and i think i read somewhere that its best to have a larger size TB than the CAI. That true?
