next step


Hey guys, was wanting opinions on the best way to cap off the engine build. The fuel system is still on hold to see how the e85 prices are affected (thanks Casper). The entire heads/cams/turbo situation is my final question. My stock intake was in need of replacing so at last I did upgrade for now to a ported aluminum intake. my question is from here what should I do.

1. Keep aluminum/ported intake, add turbo cams and better turbo

2. sell intake and go trickflow heads/cams/intake eventually better turbo

I would go with the Edlebrock intake. That thing is pretty impressive and looks good.

This is just one car, but over on Modular fords theres a guy with a V1 auto, he made 384rwhp @ 11psi. No other changes, except the Edlebrock intake with the plenum and made like 435-440rwhp.

As far as cams go, I dont know much about turbo cams, but id talk to Nick @ MHS. He does some nice work for cams from what Ive read.

Dang man that is ridiculous gains for an intake. I've heard good things from you and a couple others now so will most likely go with it. My tuner said he'd buy back the intake that's going on now if I ever want to upgrade. I know nothing about turbo cams either but a couple of guys have commented saying just throw turbo cams in. I know one time you mentioned something not far from that. The trickflow's are amazing but really expensive and wondering if turbo cams and a bad freaking turbo would suite me just fine.

That turbo doesnt seem to bad considering the power your putting down @ 10psi with the stock heads and cams.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with the turbo cams.

Far as the TFS heads, if you have the money definitley. But so far Im not really impressed with the TFS heads for the price. Foxlake ported heads, even MMR ported heads seem to do the same thing for a cheaper price. Idk just my opinion. If I had the money, Id buy the TFS heads.

I have no info to add lol but I want to see some track times already! But turbo cams sound better than an intake to me.

I know I agree TFS heads are so nice but freaking expensive. I can get either a set of those or patriot heads from my tuner he has some. I just want to let it breath better. He gets really good deals on Turbonetics turbos too. Can get me a t76 ball bearing from them for 40% off. Lot to consider but always like to no what lies ahead.

I haven't forgotten you LoL. I just didn't know how you compare the turbonetics turbo's to billets, I do need a 76mm that'll pound out horsepower/torque.

I talked TEA and he said u can't beat the new tfs
Heads. He hardly sells his ported pi's anymore since that heads came out.

Cams are a good choice but should be made around your setup. Aka custom cams.

You should really consider running that car down the track as it is before adding cams, heads and a bigger turbo. Just to see what it can do and so you don't kill yourself lol.
