Default Trick flow kit on 95 5.0- what problems?

So i am thinking about getting the trick flow head/cam intake kit for my 95 5.0 engine. Im scared of problems with the computer, The cam is just over .5 lift int and exh so i think the comp is gonna be lost.

What would be the best course of action here? Have the computer flashed? Any other options? In addition to the comp work i figure i will need some 24 lb injectors and the maf anf tb to match it.

Any links for advice would be appreciated.

Any H/C/I swap will need to be dyno tuned for optimal performance and for the life of the engine itself

The trickflow valve covers may present a problem on a Sn-95. The camshaft will be okay. You will need need the upper intake adapter as well, that the fox does not have.

^^^^^nope the trick flow valve covers that come in the kit work fine......just need to grind a little on the egr mounting base and as for drivibility..you'll need a tune to correct any idle surge accompanied with cam .. if it were me to avoid a tune I would replace stage 1 cam with a steeda #19

Thanks MJR46. I would like to have a bit more agressive cam if possible, Are there any easy ways around this or would you still suggest the 19 cam?

I think the biggest problem you will have, will be the lack of power, and empty wallet


you can do alot better, for alot less money

I've put a few of those trick flow kits on sn-95's and I haven't been impressed with the power output vs cost.....adder's right.....a properly tuned gt-40 set up can yield you as much as the bolt on trick flow set up for a lot less money

Two things wrong with your post.

1) I did not say it would not work at all. I said it may present a problem, and you listed it.

2) You do not need a tune for a TFS-1. My buddy (1994) has a TFS-1 and no tune needed. Runs just fine.
