[burnout5.0]

I just bought the full trick flow track heat top end kit and they say 360 crank HP i was just wondering if that is a realistic number or is it over rated? if so what kind HP am i actually going to be looking at?

No it is not over rated. On a 9.5:1 306 with this kit using the following items it made the 360 HP with out a problem.

70mm TB
24lb. injectors
190 lph pump
75mm mass air meter
10 degrees base timing
and a good tune

Depends on all the other performance bolt-ons that you add but 360 crank HP is definitely possible. Maybe more.

[the misfit wolfie]

when you get it installed tell us how it working out for you.

[burnout5.0]

absolutely i will, since its on backorder its not gonna be till the (estimated) beginning on next month ill its all done.

[the misfit wolfie]

well, it will be worth the wait.

Yea should definetly make that with some supporting mods but if it were me I'd go with a 75/80 TB/MAF combo, and maybe 30 pound injectors, becuase if it makes any more than 360, thats getting close to maxing them out. Also, keep in mind a custom burnt chip is much better than a mail order.

No way bro you are fine with the 24's and the setup thats listed there

Yes, that combo should be fine for a 360hp TFS HCI combo as long as the engine's going to stay naturally-aspirated. If you're planning to add forced induction later on, you might wanna get the matching parts from the outset so that you don't end up buying the same parts twice:

75mm TB
80mm MAF
255lph pump
36 or 42lb injectors (depending on boost level)
Chip tune on chassis dyno

I've got a question, too. I've seen the track heat and all, but I also saw an FRPP kit with the gt40 stuff and it comes with a full gasket set and stuff. Would it be better to buy that, since I'm going to rebuild the motor in about 20,000 miles anyway?

[mustangfu]

wait, does the trick flow kit come with everything too???

[burnout5.0]

yes it does

[mustangfu]

oh...lol. thanks!

When my engine hits 150k (at 127xxx now) I'm going to have a family friend tear it down and rebuild it. His name is Rick Kirk, and he used to build some mean Ford motors back in the day. Do you think with the Trick Flow kit, Cervini ram-air kit, bbk throttle body, and Magnaflow exhaust I could it the 360-400 bhp range?

probly about 370 at the crank

[mustangfu]

sounds awesome. what other things will i need on the list to buy to go with this new-found power?

[burnout5.0]

Gregg@TFS posted a few posts above saying what else you would need and then your set.

I ran a 306 with the track heat setup in my'95 ( this is before I added the 347 Stroker )
30lb injectors
75mm MAF
70mm TB
255lph
10 base timing
150 DRY NOS KIT
DYNO tuned Chip ( this is where you get the serious power )
Achieved 433 HP and 490 ft-lbs of torque At the rear Tires !!

Did destroy the stock 5 speed, so I put a TKO-500 trans in it.

So I say add the Dry NOS kit !!

Those numbers were on the juice? If not I have to call BS. The TFS track heat kit will put down around 300-325RWHP in NA form.

Those dyno numbers would have to be with NOS. Assuming the NOS added ~130rwhp, that would leave ~300rwhp on motor alone.
