T Trim too much power?

redrider · 05-10-2001, 09:06 PM

I have a 347 Coast High short block with ported edlebrock aluminum heads , a steel crank, forged pistons, a main girdle which can handle 600 hp according to the engine builder. With a Vortech T trim will I be pushing the envelope or should I go with an S trim with 10 lbs?

If it were me, I'd go with the S trim. No doubt the internals could handle a T-Trim but could your block? Depending on how much power you're turning right now, I'd go with the S trim.

From what I hear, the s-trim is more effiecent than the t-trim from 10-15 lbs. & the t-trim is more effiecent from 15-20 lbs., then ys then.... .
