top end kit...

fastford3388 · August 2nd, 2007, 06:07 PM

I think i've finally decided where I want to go with my car. I want to get a top end kit and a supercharger. I hope to make some where around 350-400 hp. I'm starting to save for a top end kit first but i'm not sure where to start. I was thinking about going with the ford racing kit with gt 40 heads and cobra intake etc. I was also considering the trick flow kit as well. which would be a better start for my setup? i know i'll need to replace the fuel injectors and pump as well. i hope to have the car completely finished in a few years.

IMO i would go with the Trick Flow, to me it seems like it has more to offer

does the trick flow make more power then the cobra top end kit?

TurboLX · August 2nd, 2007, 07:51 PM

im not sure how much power the Cobra kit will give, but more people preffer the Trick flow kit, the intake alone has larger ports

had a Trick flow kit on my 347, pulled 411

How much compression did it have,any poweradders

baine21225 · August 2nd, 2007, 09:36 PM

+ 1 to trick flow

Tony_90fox · August 2nd, 2007, 10:20 PM

Trick Flow, Edelbrock, maybe some combo matched with AFR 165-185 heads...

The aluminum GT40 heads arent a bad flowing head, but as stated, the intake isnt as good as the Trick flow intake...Spend a couple hundred more and get the Trick flow or similar kit.

Where is the best place to find a top end kit, H/C/I? What brand do people suggest, or is it better to buy parts and pieces from different brands?

www.summitracing.com

Best to get a complete kit in my opinion.

nikbait · August 2nd, 2007, 11:30 PM

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure

TurboLX · August 3rd, 2007, 01:41 AM

Jordan it was N/A at 12:5:1 comp.

Summit has the best choices

Iownastang · August 3rd, 2007, 01:48 AM

thanks man i was just curious,i can see how it made all that power now

89lxfox50 · August 3rd, 2007, 01:49 AM

how big is the throttle body opening on the trickflow intake??? bc im having this same debate

superman5.0 · August 3rd, 2007, 01:50 AM

i never liked top end kits its better to get sperate peices. edelbrock performer intake with rhs 180 heads and steeda #19 cam. unless you want a cobra intake then get it ported.

superman5.0 · August 3rd, 2007, 01:50 AM

75mm

89lxfox50 · August 3rd, 2007, 01:51 AM

50resto.com is often cheaper then jegs or summit and they olny have mustang parts so u no they r good i buy from there and they can answer any tec ?s u have bc most them guys have foxes and work with that stuff everydayi like summit also

89lxfox50 · August 3rd, 2007, 01:53 AM

how bout starting your own thread instead of asking totally different questions then the op's topic.

neverfastenough1 · August 3rd, 2007, 04:04 AM

Trick Flow has the best heads, and the kit is pieced together with parts that were made to work together. The Trick Flow kit has gone up in the past 2 months from $2199 to $2499, so I hope it doesn't keep going up. The Trick Flow kit has been proven to supply up to 70 hp straight out of the box. Holley has a kit for the same price, but I would get the Flow's because the Holley intake has a habit of sucking oil out of the motor.
