i got fucking scammed, well this jackass tried to scam me but i was able to get my cash back

this jackass stopped returning my emails and game me a phone number that didnt work!

so now im on to this auction, TrickFlow Twisted Wedge Heads Cobra Intake Ford Mustang
luckily this guy will let me send my money via paypal so i feel a little safer

what do you all think about this setup, are these intakes as good as the tubular intakes, and dose anyone know what the inlet size is, is it 75mm i want to know what size maf/tb to get, how well will this cobra intake match up with these heads, i dont really have it ion my budget to get them ported because i still have to buy 24# injectors, maf/tb and a new fuel pump gaskets valve covers and all the crap for the install

[93hatch]

holy hell thats a good deal, and its doesnt flow as good as the tubular, but its close. The inlet size is 70mm

Could see that from miles away.....



I have a set of TW heads that have been worked and milled.
58cc
Spring pocket opened to 1.550
10* locks/Retainers
Dual comp spring / 1.9 installed 205 on the seat and 480 open.
1.6 Ford Blue Svo rockers
Trick flow pushrods

... Also have a custom Jay allen hyd roller cam that I will sell too.....The springs on the heads are already set up for the custom cam.
This is a great combo.You can even throw on a junk yard exploder intake and this combo will fly.

1100 plus shipping for the set up....And this stuff is ready to boly on and go.

or 900 plus shipping for the heads/rockers/push rods

Just throwin it out there....

[stfudvs]

i appreciate the offer but your but i already paypal'd the money to a guy selling a cobra intake/tw heads, shame shame

[stfudvs]

i changed my mind your setup sounds much better i sent you a pm

Cancel payment. Mustank's deal rocks. I doubt you will find a better deal than that. I'm half tempted to buy the shit.

exactly what i did

[superbean]

Twisted Wedges are around 1400 shipped..
Plus all the machine work is prob a few hundred..
Plus springs...
Locks..
Rockers..
Pushrods.

That's prob 2000 bucks in his setup at least.

Wish I had the money lol

[stfudvs]

we struck a deal
im pretty stooked


anyone want to recomend a good flowing intake to go with this h/c combo

looking to make 300+ hp for my emissions passing dd

[superbean]

I think you could put even a crap intake on there and make 300 whp with those heads.

I'm sure those heads will want more than a basic cobra or gt40 intake

[stfudvs]

im looking at the tubular gt40 because i hear they make great torq but i also like the box intakes by trickflow or bbk, i like that they are smaller and help make the engine look cleaner and have larger air inlet for a 80/90mm tb

You don't want a box type intake on a dd street car.. it'll move you power band why out of usable rpm for the street and your car will loose tons of low end torque. Box intakes are for higher rpm setups.

Ask what those heads flow then make your decision from there but i'd prob go with a holley systemax 2 or trickflow r

Used the heads with a box upper on a systmax...also with a 90mm tb and 4 inch pipe....

Was my dd....Drove just fine........

You guys need to get your facts straight....too much myth crap runnin around here.

That is not necessarily true. The combination dictates the rpm range, not a single part. Box intakes work fine on daily drivers provided its the correct intake for the combination.

People say single plane intakes only work at high rpms too which couldn't be any further from the truth.

[stfudvs]

i think i will go with the systemax, seems everyone recommends that for my combo, i want to keep most my power between 3500-5500 i want to have more torq and mid range

while im on here i have another questions, i got some underdrive pulleys and somone told me they are bad to have on the waterpump, that they dont move coolant as sufficiantly as the stock pulley, they are bbk pulleys, should i keep my stock pulley on the water pump

Not totally disagreeing with you two but not agreeing neither..

it's been proven over and over again by everyone and there brother that a long runner intake produces more torque then a box type intake unless you have some cubes or forced induction.


and my suggestion was based off of my own personal experience... I swapped a systemax 2 intake for a downs box 1.5 to 2 years ago on my dd which had the normal bolt ons with box stock rpm heads. Granted the heads. It also had a abaco 85mm meter with anderson's 4" n/a intake and 70mm tb.

Im sure through allot of tuning you could get a box to work decently well on a stockish dd car but why bother. Why not spend the money and time else where and put a long runner type intake on and be done with it? Im sure the original poster isn't looking for the most peak horsepower but rather the most usable power right?

The box will make more average power....It will make more torque also...just cause it not at 2500 doesnt mean crap....

Alot of tuning to put a box intake? My car drove beatiful with this set up..

You ever see a carb intake? How long are those runners?

I'd look at a Trick Flow box intake or a Victor EFI.

The underdrive pulleys will be fine. I use underdrive pulleys on everything and never have problems.

Did you dyno your car with the box? where was the powerband?
Don't you currently have a holley systemax on your car? if so why?
So losing torque at 2500 doesn't matter to a street driven car?
Yes I have seen plenty of carb intakes.. I have a polished supervictor converted to efi with billet rails and 90mm spyder intake currently that i'd be willing to sell you to help you abtain those more average power and more average torque figures for your car that you mentioned

i switched from a long runner (trickflow trackheat) to an intake that has pretty much no runner at all (edelbrock vc jr efi spyder)and it has more all around power low and high end. i pretty have no air restriction at all.

4" self made intake 90mm lightning MAF,90mm accufab tb, edelbrock EFI spyder with a 90mm elbow.
