How does the trickflow kit work with an AODE?

[Synned]

Does anyone have the trickflow street kit on their AODE? If so how does the cam work with the aode?
I can't decide between that or an s-trim.
This is what I have
Blower:
+ More power than H/C/I
++ Slap it on in a day
- Tune required
- more expensive
+ sounds ****in awesome
- no room to grow
+ works good with an automatic car

H/C/I
--- probably have to pay for installation (i have no experience)
+ cheaper
+ all motor (Beat someone with a v8 instead of forced induction)
+ beat the crap out of it
+ replaced all top-end gaskets
+ saves 50lbs
+ Room to grow afterwards

everyones going to say to do h/c/i first cause it gives you room to grow, i kinda agree with it and if you did the labor yourself it should roughly come out to same price. look for car/mustang clubs in your area and make friends while you save your money then get someone to help you do it free

btw ever fix your problem?

It's a GREAT kit - we did a couple of installs on '95s with AODE's and they just fly - but you really need a tune to get it to idle OK and get the most out of it. I cannot recall the exact dyno numbers we saw, but it was a significant gain from stock. You'd also need a tune to up the shift points to get the best performance out of it. It'll be a great setup to start with so you can get a blower later on.

I started my car NA with basically the same stuff and at 3700# it went 13.4.

No reason it would not make the same power as a stick car other than the auto sapping a bit more power.

As Don said the shift points could be improved upon.

I have never had any experience with the auto trans on Fox's or SN 95's but from experience with the older Stangs with autos ............. a high stall converter is whats really needed if you insist on using an auto trans while trying to mod your Stang.

I agree with final-50. Get a good torque converter to compliment your combination and you'll be happy

Ditto - For each of the TFS kits we've put on cars the owners also had us do a converter.

1. What makes you think that if you "have no experience" to install H/c/I, that you will be able to "slap it on (the Vortech) in a day"?

2. Who says there's "no room to grow"?

( I have an U/L intake on my car, you can add a Torque converter to get another 10% power, and you can still add heads later)

Well I read the vortech installation manual, it doesn't seem too bad. I just have no experience or anything ripping open then engine and messing with the drivetrain.
