TFS Street Heat
*I had a ported Cobra/GT-40 and the TFS is a little better IMO. If the Edelbrock is a Performer RPM, the RPM, if not, the GT-40. Track Heat is a little too much for your combo. ------------------ Dustin 89 GT(Saleen Clone) 392 rwhp UNTUNED(TFS Intake, spacer,Heads and #2 cam, BD-11A 9#(only boosting 6???WTF),1.6 rr's,BBK 70mm TB,FMS 70mm MAF,MSD 6BTM,FMS 9mm wires,BBK longtubes and H-Pipe,American Thunder cat back,3.55 lots more... 12.564@118.49 on street tires is my best so far. Still untuned |

I'd go with the Edelbrock Performer, seeing as how you haven't made any big engine mods
your talking about an engine that zonks out at about 4,500 to 5,000 rpm powerwise. So getting a manifold that is tuned for higher rpm starts trading torque for HP |

#1 #4 if rpm In that order. If you plan on adding heads or blower I would go with #2 ------------------ James Cox nochevy@hotmail.com 1991 Mustang LX 12.565 @109.38mph 1.764 60ft |

wow, what posessed u to get a victor for a stock motor with exhaust upgrades?
The regular edelbrock performer is better for u than the RPM, so I dont know why everybody is saying the edel RPM? You cant go wrong with the trick flow street heat. It will work ok on a stock motor, and will support serious future upgrades, and you get a few bucks to boot! ------------------ 1993 GT/AOD '93 Mustang GT |

I like the GT-40. If you can make the trade do it. You will like the great low end that these intakes give you. They keep the shift points relativly low too, about 5800rpm is where most people with these intakes shift at. Add a blower...WOW, big block torque. I am very happy with mine, but the quest for nines will probably cause me to buy the performer rpm.
------------------ 302,vortech s trim @18-20lbs showing,edelbrock performer heads-o ringed,gt 40 upper&lower, mac 1 5/8"long tubes, sub frame connectors,50/50 rear, 70/30 front, manual rack,3:55 gears, c4 , best time 10.13@135mph |
