best flow intake

[stang2841]

better flowing intake

TrickFlow 1500-6500 rpm
Edelbrock 1500-6500 rpm

or holley or GT40 or hell even cobra

im at crossroads with what intake to get

 

[Daggar]

Raw out of the box CFM (I'm sure I'll get some argument here), I believe are the Holley and Trickflow intakes. That said, I would try and figure out what combo you eventually plan to run and try to find an intake that fits that combo.

 

[stang2841]

yeah i was partial to trickflow,

i plan on making it a daily driver with aluminum heads lol

 

[stang2841]

is that safe btw? a aluminum head daily driver?

 

[Daggar]

Have you considered either the Trickflow or Holley packages? Heads, Cam, upper and lower, timing chain... whole nine yards all designed to work together. Normally aspirated, I can't see how you could beat it.

 

[stang2841]

nah , rather get something original or figure it out myself then running the same packages everybody else is running

 

[Daggar]

Aluminum heads on a daily driver safe??? Of course it is... it's done every day.

i heard the rule of thumb is, aluminum more durable but iron makes more power

 

[Daggar]

I dunno how much truth there is to that. My aluminum heads make me hell of allot more power that my stock iron heads ever did. As far as durability goes, I imagine that I'd have a much tougher time damaging my cast heads with saaaaaay a bullet from a gun than I would my aluminums. A,uminum heads are all the rage... they're light, easy to machine, and mate well on blocks that are less than perfect in a lot of cases. The only recommendation of cast over aluminum that I personally have read, was from a supercharger manufacturer that said that cast heads absorb and disipate hear better than aluminum. I think that that's debatable as well. Absorb... maybe... I find it hard to believe that cast iron would disipate heat more readily than aluminum though.

since iron runs hotter it helps with combustion and compression,my 2 cents

 

[larrendeuce]

Well, since aluminum doesn't hold as much heat it lowers temperatures, allowing for higher compression before detonation, or more boost.
