You are right, the TFS is much shorter, not shorter than the edelbrock but MUCH shorter than the stock plastic and definitely shorter than the bullitt. The top is the only part that looks like the bullitt manifold on the TFS......I have one

You will lose at least 3 tenths and maybe a full half second with the TFS over the plastic with the mild mods you list. Its already been done and unless you are shifting at 7500-9500RPM (yes thats 9500) its totally the wrong intake for a NA motor. Above 7500RPM it is the baddest intake on the planet for the 2V IMHO, but you obviously ain't doing that RPM level with your mods.

Most all are hush hush in strict rules racing classes. I am building one right now that I will say the cams are low 260s duration at 050 lift and have seen 2V motors with durations all the way up to the 275 range at 050. There should be a NA 2V to hit the 9's this year with the TFS heads IMHO.

No need to listen to me, here is the dyno comparison from Tony Whetstone's 11 second NA car, TFS is red and PI is blue. He had to raise his shifts all the way to 7000 before he could even equal his PI intake times. And before its asked yes he retuned for it, he owns a Dynojet.
