They do make good stuff and for the price of what you get its a good deal. But it doesn't make the power you want, most fall short of 300 to the wheels. I would spend the extra and go with AFR and Holley systemax 2 intake. But still a good deal for $2200 with everything you need

You'll get better power with individual parts selection IF IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT. But the TFS kit is a cost effective package that takes the guesswork out of it

The trick flow is a good bang for the buck take all the hunt for parts out of it deal......if you want a fairly decent kit without much effort of the "hunt for parts" it's a complete bolt an roll deal....I've installed a few for some people and the one thing I haven't had to do with the trick flow kit is make repeated trips to the parts stores for left out gaskets and parts.
