Trick Flow intakes?

Smokedawg · 04-18-2001, 11:59 AM

I was getting ready to purchase a new trick flow intake from summit and want to know if there will be any improvment of flow over my stock intakes that have been ported and polished.

Thanks

Which TFS intake are you getting? The street has mor low end torque and the track heat has more mid-high torque. I would go with the track heat if I were you. Everyone I've spoken to and everything I've read, shows that based on our similar mods....we need more mid-high end torque to compete with the bigger cui boys (LS1's etc). I just ordered the track heat, because I'll soon be ading a blower - and that combo is definatey better.
