I had the kit for about 2 years. It never put less than 302 hp and 307 tq rear wheel- even untuned. Dont forget about all the other stuff you need to do the install. I personally cant recomend the kit after my valve guides went bad with less than 2k miles.

i have also heard nothing but bad comments regarding the holley kit. when it comes to high horse power levels and long lasting, it suffers. thats what i heard.

thanks for the advise about the holley systemax kit I wont be getting that. But my second intrest was the Trick Flow twisted Wedge Heads and Track Heat intake what do you guys think about them?
