Trick Flow Intake Manifold?
I'm buying a 345hp 5.0 crate motor with GT-40 X heads in the very near future ($300 away). I have heard good things about trick flow, would it be a wise investment to buy a trick flow intake manifold? and if so 75mm or 90mm?
thanks
thanks

It depends on the powerband you want for your manifold.... street heat is idle-5500 i think and track heat is 2000 to 7000...
Im not sure if thats exactally it but its close to that.

TrickFlow good intake, 75mm TB is overkill, 70mm more than enough.
and forget about the GT-40X crate engine, there are better out there for less money.
This guy will make you same engine, but with TrickFlow TW heads and cam for $700 less
last one he had listed for $3,000

Not that there is anything "wrong" with them but you could build something yourself or have a shop build thats twice as good for cheaper. Or just rebuild a motor with a nice h/c/i and put out that much.
