Typhoon or TrickFlow?


I cant decide between the good price of the typhoon or the trickflow street or track heat. Plus what size throttle body would I have to use with either of those?

Typhoon uses 70mm TB...... I got my Upper and Lower polished typhoon intake with throttle body and EGR spacer for $500 off ebay brand new, and am happy with it..

The Typhoon is a copy of the Edelbrock and I've heard varying opinions about it. It's supposed to come pretty rough and in need of some cleaning up. That seems to be the only real gripe about it though. I was seriously looking at it. I mean if it's a good copy of the Edelbrock it should work just as well after you clean it up.

In the end I came across a good deal on a TFS Track Heat so I went that route.

I had to spend about 8hrs cleaning up my typhoon intake, it was so bad I emailed the company with pics. There was casting flash the size of frosted flakes everywhere. On the + side, to make it right, you'll end up with a fully ported and polished intake.

And the response (if you got one), was probably surprise and an apology claiming that intake casting was the exception and it must have slipped through their "QA", and that is not normal for that to happen. I'm sure that same response goes out to everyone that complains.
