Default Holly Systemax engine package, Worth it?

I got a 94 GT, should I the Holly package or would it be better to get a different combo then what they offer? Also I'm thinking about either rebuilding the engine and stroke it to a 306 or should i buy an assembled 331 and just drop that in?

Yeah I agree, IMO the TrickFlow package is better, also a better value. Comes with more stuff for less $$. Also supposed to make 10lbs more torque than the Holley kit.

LOL have heard some old problems with Trick flow but that was fixed.They had seal problems as well. Im sorry any trick flow better the EldelPOOP heads hehhe .JK on the poop thing.. But You can find a better combo about same price. But if i had to choose i go with the TFS combo.100 bucks cheaper to.
