Post Estimate HP with Trick Flow Track Heat Intake Manifold??

Hi everyone, i was looking to get the Trick Flow Track Heat Intake Manifold for my 04 Mustang GT. Does anyone know how much power is being added with this intake???? Will it make a good or noticeable difference on car (Power, Ride, Performance) I have the following bolt ons,

K&N Air Intake
Accufab 75MM Throttle Body
Accufab Plenum
Intake Manifold to Plenum Spacer
Comp Cams Stage I
Pulleys
3.73 Gears
Steeda Short Shifter
Full Exhaust
Aluminum Driveshaft
Diablo Tuner
150 Shot of Nitrous

Really appreciate your replies, please help.

You might see some gains since youre spraying and it will have the added affect of being a metal manifold so you wont have a blown intake manifold. But when youre going n/a, i dont think that you'll see an increase. But over the TFS manifold, i'd look into the edelbrock intake manifold as its cheaper.

What kind of performance difference is he going to see with the Edelbrock intake over the TFS?

Its a shorter intake runner which would give better upper rpm power so I'm thinking that maybe it would help him make peak power longer but maybe im wrong. Im just saying that the edelbrock intake is cheaper with everything needed to install it so it would be the same effect, just cheaper. Not saying any performance added over top of the TFS, just more cost effective for the same effect.

na you will see maybe 5 hp max spraying i have no clue if you had heads and more aggressive cams you could possibly see 20 max.

the edelbrock intake is only a little bit cheaper after you get the new fuel rails and intake adapter and what ever else you need to make it work.

wouldnt a long runner intake be better for higher rpms? i know with my trick flow i was still making power at high rpms

Oh so you don't know the difference between the two other than price? Ok gotcha

Well i know that the edelbrock intake manifold has the shortest intake runner for a 2v production intake manifold so i figured it was shorter than the TFS. I just didnt know by how much. I thought that the TFS was shorter than stock. Guess i know nothing.

the trick flow runners are almost identical to the bullitt manifold which is a long runner intake. the edelbrock is the shortest runner intake available for the 2v

I knew about the Eddie intake, but i thought that the trickflow was a short runner. Guess not.

The shorter the runner, the more higher RPM potential it has...but at the expenses of low-end power/torque. The TFS is a good all-around choice for sure.
