Thanks guys, it's not really dirty it's just dusty from not being cleaned all summer.


Keith, engine is lookin good man, can't wait til its done. I vaguely remember someone hassling me about getting my engine done before summer time...
He's just giving me time to catch up, that's all.

he gives the trick flow top end package ****....not the intake its pretty much the crappy heads. trick flow intakes actually arent that bad for theprice.and bad luck on the RHS too, we had2 guys come in with the same problem.

adder did you call RHS to verify you got 302 ford sb heads? one time it was the wrong heads all together and the look almost exactly the same as the correct ones. the other time we had to alter a different felpro gasket with a smaller water jacket port to startand it sealed and cooled just fine. i'm not fond of their design but we dyno'd one 5.0 with a 68rwhp increase. so it was pretty sweet.

as for your tb.....75 on a stock intake???????? are you insane? thats like 1000 cfm rate, what are your other mods? what size maf you have? my 70mm tb is almost 850 to 900.

Crappy heads? I hope that you are not referring to the Twisted Wedge heads because they are one of the best small block ford heads ever.

ok, just curious then how come you consistantly see people with the trickflow top end package making less than 300 rwhp with full HCI? i know the tfs-1 cam is pretty decent, better than my b303, the intake is just fine....i see people with hci with tfs intake making 300 plus, but seems anyone with tw heads make less than 300 rwhp unless they have something else modded other than the hci and other simple stuff?

im not talking crap, im just going off the concensus of people who have and dont have thetfsh top end kit. if you can explain to me why this seems to be the pattern id be happy to retract my statement. i dont even have aluminum heads so i dont have room to talk i guess. lol
