looks like a pretty good deal to me, but i dont know much here. What do you all say? I know twisted wedge are good heads, but the kit as a whole. The hp estimate seems a bit high, i mean 360 from just heads cam and intake....idk. What do you think?

i thought that might be, and i never really thought it would ACTUALY get close to 360 hp, i mean there just isnt that much power to free up in the engine. But as a whole, in comparison to buying the kit or buying head, intake, and cam seperately, how does it compare?

im talking more along the lines of seeing those kits making 250-260rwhp. you can do better with a set of gt-40 heads, nice intake, and good cam

+1. get some gt-40 heads and send them to thumper, they will outflow afr 165's then. and be cheaper even after paying for the porting.. get a nice cam and a ported upper and lower explorer intake and you will make 300whp... if not 300 then really damn close.

Its a nice kit, but the numbers they say it puts down are on a 306 with all supporting mods, and its at the flywheel, and on an engine dyno i'm sure. You can do a budget build and make more power than what its gonna give you. In my eyes, its definatly not worth 2200 $

No way 360HP. I have the track heat kit and i only have 273hp, but the 360 may be on an engine dyno. Nice kit though
