track or street Trick Flow intake?
I am buying the complete trick flow kit that comes with heads, cam, intake, timing chain, etc.
There are 2 different kits, they are indentical except: one comes with the Street Intake and one comes with the Track Heat kit.
What is the difference between these 2 intakes? I know that the track kit gets a little more power than the street. I know that the street intake is for idle-5500rpms and the track is for 1500-6500rpms.
Im using this on a 347 stroker block that will be a daily driver.
Should I use the street or track kit? What will be the difference as far as the actual application? What would I notice in day to day use?
Any thoughts?

RE: track or street Trick Flow intake?
well I mean...I'm not gonna be drag racing or anything...ya know, just an street race from time to time.
Other than the track being good up to 6500rpms, what does it mean for the lower end rpms? Will experience any issues at idle since it says 1500-6500? Like I said I will be driving this everyday in the city, and I dont want it to idle like crap.
any more opinions?

RE: track or street Trick Flow intake?
The street heat puts down higher torque numbers because it has longer runners. The track heat puts down higher hp because it has shorter runners. With a 347 the track heat would probably be better because it brings in a little more air. Your putting down more displacement then a 302. The rpm range given is for a 302, it would be a little lower. The cam that comes with the kit is very streetable and you would have a decent idle. With the track heat kit, you should put down over 300rwhp with a full exhaust.

RE: track or street Trick Flow intake?
I have a standard 302 that's built, and I am going to go with the track heat soon. Right now I have the street heat. It was good while building the engine, but now I need more higher RPM revvs for my 1/4 mile times. For street use, it works great though. Best flowing street manifold on the market...

LOL its been mentioned above, if you are driving on the street a lot then you want the street heat but if you are planning on removing the RPM limiter and going higher then 5900 then the track heat is what you should get, regardless of cam.
