RE: Trick Flow -vs- GT40 package
thanks for the advise guys ....
quick question though....how do you all feel about the TF cams vs the FMS cams? i don't know anyone with a TF cam in their car and i've only had experience with the B303 in one of my old coupes.

RE: Trick Flow -vs- GT40 package
lol...after you use it youll prolly call it junk...i cant wait to get an edelbrock intake and a comp cam. i just cant see any great gains witht the setup ive got. i know i have too big a set of heads but the gt-40 seems rather limited. i think a trickflow is a good upgrade oveer the gt-40. and E cam over B cam too really. that would have made this a closer call.ill have a gt-40 for sell though soon as my victor comes in. and an E cam too.

I wouldn't use that intake unless you're going to use boost. It puts your power up higher in your rpm range and is better for blown/turbo applications.
It all comes down to what you have planned for your car. For a street car, the street heat intake will be okay, the track heat could be too, but it has shorter runners losing some low end tq, but giving you more hp up top at higher rpms. The box intake puts your power even higher in the rpm range than the track heat. I don't think you'd be able to rev high enough to use it w/ the top end kit.

But seriously, I think I would change one thing though and go with this intake instead of the Track heat.

I know. But I am boosted from a Turbo.
. Plus I was just answering the original question which is what would you change? And since I am boosted that is what I would change.

RE: Trick Flow -vs- GT40 package
This is just my personal opinion, far from written in stone..... To me, most of the Edelbrock stuff is similar to FRPP in that it's older tech. Edelbrock makes better power than Ford, but they came over from carbed applications, which are different in many ways.
Trick Flow, BBK, etc. are more new school and strictly EFI. Granted, BBK's new intake was somewhat dissappointing--not that it doesn't perform or look badass--but it wasn't all that it was hyped up to be and outperform everything else. So, any company has pros and cons, but I've always been partial to companies w/ newer innovation. Parts that came out 10-15 years ago were the latest and greatest at the time, but companies like TFS seem do keep doing research to better their products and don't accept that what's already around is the best.
Everyone has their opinion, so go w/ what you think is the best for you, not just what someone tells you to get.
