Default trickflow safe?

I am going to buy the Trick Flow Top-End kit for my 94GT.

Are the trickflow TFS-51400004 TW heads safe for my stock block? Is there anything to worry about?

You should have no problem putting the kit on a stock block...thats what it is for. Just make sure you match ur part #'s for your car b/c that would really suck to get all excited about it...tear down ur ride and begin installing something that isn't gonna fit...lol

not many but a few. I went to summitracing.com and will be purchasing my kit from them. I filtered the results for a 1994 Mustang GT, so hopefully they send me the right stuff.

There are a couple different part #'s. The difference being the intake (track vs. street), and which color you get (silver or black).

Im glad to hear that everything will work safely.

yeah it will work fine! i have heard not so good things about the cam that comes with that kit, a couple of sources have claimed the cam caused a bucking feeling at cruising speeds, also you can ask summit to get rid of the "tfs tw" heads and sell you the remainder of the kit and get some diff heads if you wanted to, to go with the tfs top end kit!

As long as you go w/ 1.6 rockers, you should be fine (I think they come w/ it). You should be ~300hp or better at the flywheel w/ that kit (depends on your other mods).

What other mods are you going to do? I'm asking b/c I would get your car dyno tuned since your swapping the cam out. SN95 computers are notorious for being finicky w/ a larger cam.

yeah, i dont think its the trickflow cam, but the trickflow cam in a SN95 stang.

Lots of people complain about the computers in those cars not being happy
with more aggressive cams.
