Gains?
I just bought a TrickFlow Street Intake off of StangTang and it is being shipped to me via Fed Ex. When I get it, I will be throwing the new up/low intake on as well as a set of Crane 1.7 Roller Rockers and Under drive pulleys. With what I have now already, how much HP gains should I expect to gain, and maybe a few 10ths in the 1/4?
Any insight would be nice, thanks ahead of time.

RE: Gains?
i installed the trick flow street intake over the summer, and didn't feel a huge differance. i deffinitly got more mid and top end but nothing crazy since i still have the stock heads. with the 1.7's and the underdrive pulleys tho im sure ull feel a very noticable increase. two things about that intake tho... first it makes a whissling noise at idle... everyone told me this was a vacume leak but its not. this is the only intake that does it for some reason. also after i put on the intake i noticed a drop in power after 5,500, and before it would pull right to 6,000. my thoery is that i was getting more air than gas so, this winter i put on an adjustable fuel regulator and cranked up the PSI. ill have to wait till spring to see if i was right... either that or it could be worn valve springs. anyway im sure you'll feel 15-25 hp increase on the top. this will triple with heads tho, remember you have big runners on that new intake but you still have small ports in the heads...

RE: Gains?
Thanks for the replies. I am thinking with the mods I have, with the 1.7 Roller Rockers, Underdrive Pulleys, Street Intake, and a MAF I should be able to drop another 1/2 second, maybe more.. Probably more.. I am hoping to be a low 14 high 13 second car with the intake, T/B, MAF, Underdrives, 1.7 Rollers, and the mods listed in my sign, think it's possible?? Then I will start focusing on suspension and chassis work. I know I am doing it backwards, but this is all just the basics until I get my AFR's and DragLites with ET Street slicks.

RE: Gains?
it pulls from idle - 5000 rpm's, and with any intake manifold you wont realize their full potential without a set of aftermarket heads. the street heat intake has the longer runners for more low end torque. i am sure you will be happy.

RE: Gains?
Yes I am sure I will be very happy with the intake. It makes power to 5500 actually but close enough. Yeah I am doing it backwards but I dont really care.. I just cant wait for my 1.7 roller rockers underdrive pulleys, and my new intake... After these mods I am hopeing for low to mid 14's with that and my mods in my sign. I am going to get heads in September for my 18th birthday. I think after that I will get some new wheels and tires for the track, and should be running deep into the 13's with some ET street Slicks. For my birthday I am going to get the car repainted and a new Cobra R hood with the SVO scoop, that should add a little personality to my car, and it will be all me 
I love settlement checks especially when they come in large sums!! [sm=gears.gif][sm=groupwave.gif][sm=happybounce.gif][sm=happy046.gif]
