Trick Flow V.S Cobra Inatke
im thinking of taking off my cobra upper and lower and going with the idle to 5500 trick flow intake and a b303 cam and cause i have to take the intake off anyways to put the cam in i was wondering what the advantages are in the trick flow intake setup. Any how does the b303 cam perform, the reason im going with the b303 cause of the lift so i dont have to change the valve springs.

RE: Trick Flow V.S Cobra Inatke
I have a few comments to make here.
Don't swap from a Cobra to a Street Heat. The Cobra is a good low end intake. There isn't much difference there at all. The Street Heat may be better, but not enough to warrant the cost and labor swapping them. When you upgrade, go to a Performer RPM or a TFS Track Heat (but I'm not saying now is the time to swap).
Don't pick a weak a$$ cam just because you're trying to be cheap and not replace the valve springs. You'll be kicking yourself later. They have tools to change springs without removing the heads. Just buy the $100 valve springs and pay someone to change them for you or stick with the stock cam.

you dont need any special tools to remmove the springs while the heads are still on the car... all you have to do is bring the piston to TDC on the cylinder you are working on... it will not fall into the motor, so there is no issue with taking the springs off
However you are right about the weak *** cam... definitly go with something a bit more agressive, like the F cam.... or even the Crane Cams 449591 (Grind Number: HR-220/311-2S-14)
