Intake Manifold Advice
hey guys hows it goin
i'm getting this engine when the time and money comes:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
I also noticed that it dosen't come with an intake manifold.
I want to get a trick flow... just dont know which one to get, theres so many.
can someone steer me in the right direction?
i plan on doing some work with this motor later on (bore, stroke, supercharger?)

RE: Intake Manifold Advice
and i'm not completely stuck on the TF... just lookin for suggestions and readin over the forums i was under the impression that the TF was the best bang for the buck
because i want to get this project on the road... i have had it for a while and i'm gettin antsy. It would cost more and concequently take longer to get a stroker for it, so i'll just do that later.

why not a stroker?

RE: Intake Manifold Advice
Also... i was lookin at the TF manifolds on summit... this is probably a dumb question but whats the deal with the "basic operating RPM range"? shoudlnt it just be like idle-6500 ish? or is there something i need to know...
and probably another stupid question but i am under the impression that that motor is EFI, but it says "carb. included- no" on the overview. So whhat is it...?
thanks again guys

If you wanna make good power for less money, piece the motor together by yourself... im not saying you need to do the full rebuild yourself, but you can buy a shortblock for $749, drop some ported gt-40P heads on it $500, and throw a nice cam in it $185, maybe ven a cobra intake $300. And be running 10:1 compression with 300+ rwhp
and youve STILL spend less money than buying a trick flow top end kit

yea, thats a common misconception. I love all these guys that are gun-ho trick flow... they spend $2200 on a top end kit, and produce less power that my stock motor cobra makes... and i just have a tune.
