I am trying to figure out which intake to go with my 331 stroker application. This is my daily driver but I don't want to loose HP while going with one intake vs. the other. Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

 

the holley flows better, and since your going with a stroker i would get that one.

 

either of those are good, but for the street id choose holley. I have the trickflow and they're designed more for the higher rpms.....and u lose a bit of lower hp compared to holley.

 

i have an edlebrock performer on my stroker and it performs from idle to 6500 rpms and i have 18/26 mpg

 

actually holleys are the best flowing intake. take my word for it

 

Highest flow isn't everything. Either way, the Edelbrocks I'm going to put into my car are ported anyhow, so oh well, hehe.

 

Oh, BTW, you guys have installed intakes and stuff before, tell me, is this torque wrench a good one? It's not too expensive, but it's supposed to be "heavy duty."

"Heavy Duty" Torque Wrench

Oh wait, I just realized it does not tell the torque range it measures... Hm, should I risk it? Or should I get one that says it clearly?

 

get the holley intake, and you can get a good torque wrench from sear for around $70

 

yeah, i've got a passed down 30 year old craftsman torque wrench, its still within a pound if not exact

 

I don't really buy things from Sears. They're good quality stuff, but still overpriced. They don't make their own tools like a lot of people think, Craftsman tools are all made by different contractors, just all marketed under one name, so technically you can probably find out who actually made it and get it cheaper if it doesn't say Craftsman on it, hehe. Oh well, I tried looking around for one with a torque range I can use, found one in JCWhitney.com for like $26 10-150lbs micrometer style, wonder if it's any good. Otherwise advance auto parts has one for like $45.

Oh, well, anyway, if you have any suggestions, IM me, don't want to hijack this thread any more, and didn't want to start a new thread because I knew it would have been moved to the general tech forum...

Someone should get that snazzy looking BBK intake :
