Default trickflow kit

If i took a trickflow top end kit and added a 70mm throttle body,70mm egr plate, cold air kit, k&n filter, bigger mass airflow sensor, msd ignition, underdrive pulleys, higher flow injectors, and a chip roughly how much power would i be making at the crank/wheels? im hoping somwhere in the mid 300's at the crank and at least 300 at the wheels, i would like the torque #'s to be the same. I think that combo would make 1 hell of a car, add some lowering springs, sway bars, shocks/struts, 5 lug spindles and axles, and some 17" cobr R wheels and that would be pretty close to unbeatable in my mind lol but then again thats just my own little world ahahaha

Well when they did the test they did the upgrade on the fuel and they had a 306. With what you got you should be somewhere around the 280-290 rwhp, and throw in a set of 3.73 gears. THIS IS IF YOU HAVE 5 speed tranny. If you got an auto you can expect about 260 to the wheels with everything you got mentioned and if you dont believe me as the guy on here badtzmaru he just got his car dynoed with all that on it. If you got the auto then go for the 4.10.

I thought the trickflow kit itself put you up into 350 hp range (according to their site).

mine...308c.i. trick flow H/C/I 70mm tb, 73mm MAF, 24lb injectors, elec fan, no smog, good exhaust setup, made 306rwhp 330rwtq. and a chip really wont help you out much unless you get the ford engineer to tune it for you.

If you want to hit 350 HP then go with the whole trick flow kit. Heads, cam, and intake, I think the kit is like 2000 dollars.

you are not going to hit 350 at the wheels with this kit...maybe with a custom cam and some porting and polishing, but not with off the shelf trickflow H/C/I combo with the stage one cam. im not going to lie it is a nice kit and easy install, but that advertised 360hp has to be at the crank. I would say under the best conditions with that 2000 dollar kit you might get up to 320rhwp. just my opinion though

i woukld save some more money and piece together your own kit... this kit is made for people who don't really know what they're doing and make it simpler for them

plus it's a bit over priced
