snowcraft93 · September 27th, 2011, 11:14 PM

i was thinking about getting tw 170s this winter and was wondering does the gt40 upper and lower match up with these heads? if not is there and moddifying that can be done? thank you

It should be close. Ifnot you can port match the intake with a die grinder & carbide bit/sandpaper roll.

Might as well just save up for a Holley Systemax. That is what I have and they are a great performing intake.

ok thank you, im not sure what im going to go with just keeping options open. i have an automatic and it shifts at 3k anyways lol and its my daily driver

There is nothing wrong with the GT40 intake on a mild street car. I ran a GT40/Explorer intake that I ported at home with some box stock TW 170 heads, stock short block, Trick Flow stage 1 cam in my old 88 coupe and ran a 11.69 @ 114.

Install a Trans GO AOD-HP shift kit in that AOD and it will shift inself in drive at about 5500 rpm.

ok thank you, ya i have read alot about using the tfs 1 cam with gt40s, i work at a tire shop and we have all the tools to port so if i could find a good set of gt40s i would do that since all i would need is hardware

TW 170 are much better bang for your buck. If you can afford them, go with the TW's instead. When you figure in shipping, you're almost at $400 for a set of bare stock heads that don't flow shit and you still need to buy springs and rockers, which are an inferior pedestal design by the way.

ok thank you, i want to get the tubular upper just cuz of the looks, if the tw fits ill get those

Damn thats a great time. I just picked up my fox after trading a guy my new edge and I have the Holley systemax intake trick flow 170s, the trick flow stage one cam with 1.6 RR and full suspension and the car goes 7.89s @92 in the 1/8th mile. This guys had atleast 150lbs on me as well. Hopefully I will get lucky and get times like you ran N/A. That is my goal. I have a Vortech V1 S Trim sitting in my living room that I am hoping to go tens with...

You have the power to go much quicker in the 1/8th. For an example: my 82 Capri runs 7.83 @ 86 in the 1/8th (12.36@108 1/4)with a 1.61 60 ft. If you can get a better launch you've got the power to run much quicker, judging by your 92 mph in the 1/8th!

Yeah that was only with a 1.6 60ft....
