most people running the trickflow setup cant get more than 290rwhp from it....

I was making 276 on gt-40 parts..... 14hp just doesnt seem to be worth $2200 to me

+1, Cant believe Im actually agreeing with you [8D].


Dont buy "kits" they suck *****. Simply mix and match parts to get the most power. The problem with teh TFS kit is the twisted wedge heads. They suck [:'(]. Their old school "High Port" head is MUCH better.

the TFS kit is made for the average "slap it together because I dont know any better" person.

between my heads, $962, cam, $200, intake, $450, lifters and pushrods, $200, and gaskets, $150, and my timing chain $20

I spent ~$2000 and i'm expecting in the area of 325rwhp from my build

so i guess since im on a budget i'll get the edelbrock heads, get those going, and buy parts as i go. im one of those get it done now kind of guys. i dont like leaving things unfinished.

i thought your RHS heads were bare? what about all the spring retainers valves and all that good stuff? just using your stock head parts for the heads? or are the RHS heads completed? i also need to buy like roller rockers and shyte as well. i guess ill look around and see what i can find, ill put a list together and post it up, see what you guys think. shiz, if you can put that together for 2G's then i might just have to keep looking

i know the trickflow isnt really that awesome and the intake looks like poop too...

my heads were complete.. and new.. and your right.. I forgot about the rockers. so add another $200

$2200 total, and I put together a better package than that TFS POS setup

Dont waste your money on those hunks of crap......... Get some TFS HIGH PORT heads...... While youre at it slap in a E303.

My old get up, '69 351 W heads total cost with machining (hardened valve seats, screw in studs, guide plates, all new valves, new springs, locks and keepers.)- $650, Cam and lifter kit $250, Motorosport full roller rockers $200, Intake $150 (torker 289), head gasket kit(felpro) $100, fully synthetic oil change $35, reused coolant.

im on the rhs website now....how did you get your pair of heads for 962. i dont see any heads for 481 each? did you call and order them? the cheapest i can find is 853 and im assuming thats each.

i want a really good package, but i thought i would be up in the 3-4k range, but if your doing it for about the same price as the TFS-POS kit...[sm=lol.gif]...i think i should look a little harder
