Default Kits

Between the Ford Racing Top End, Trick Flow Top End, and Holley Systemax II Engine kits, which would I benefit the most from? My '92 GT is completely stock as it is. The Holley is the more expensive one, but are any of them worth the pretty penny that they cost? Thanks in advance...

What is better about it? It seems like it comes with less (no gasket kit, rocker rollers, maybe some other things)

I would not go with the Ford kit, I'm not sure what comes with the Holly kit but the trickflow kit comes with a lot of chit.

If I had to choose between those 3 kits I would get the TF kit.

If it were my money I would piece together my own h/c/i kit or buy a Novi 1000 with a power pipe and an 8" crank pulley.
