Anybody here have experience with the Trickflow top end kit? My understanding is that the only difference between the track heat and street heat is the long intake runner for the track heat. Which gives it a different peak HP RPM range.... is it really that big of a difference?

trust me... i was getting the track heat regardless. i just wanted to know if anyone else knew any differences. i thought i heard on here once that the springs in the track heat were better for higher rpm's? but trick flow said they're the exact same?

The streetheat upper has longer runners than the trackheat. I love my trackheat, makes decent power down low, but really screams over 3000 rpms.

If emissions don't matter go with the TRACK HEAT FTMFW

The trackheat has an EGR port, so it will work fine for emissions.

I was under the impression that the street heat had it and the track heat didn't.

Well it's still TRACK FTMFW

Yea the intake it self is street legal, but, are the heads street legal? do they have the holes in the back for the thingie pipe that unites the heads and the holes where the heads meet the lower intake? Sorry for my technical terms...
Does anybody have the full Track Heat h/c/i that has passed Northern VA emissions with stage one cam?

Just drive to southern VA where they dont even check emissions. It is only about a two hour trip. Maybe a little longer. But you would only have to do it once a year.

How much power are you making with the track heat kit? And are you running a stroker or 302? I'm building a 347(12.5:1cr). I plan on getting the track heat kit. I am going to get the spring upgrade and use the stage two cam I already have. I am also getting the heads ported and the intake to match. So I want to see what everyone is making with the kit straight out the box. Without any port work.

Plz tell me you are joking about putting a 12.5:1 347 together and using a track heat intake and a stg 1 cam?????????

If you're running a 355-373 gear, use the street intake, if 410, use the track heat.

No Im upgrading the springs and using my stage II I already have. I will be using 4.10's. I'm running high compression because I want all the power I can get NA. I dont want to spend any extra dough on nitrous, turbo or s/c. I was going to get a KB but it's too expensive. Even used they are high as hell.

So you are saying that I should drive down to southern va, Get a safety and emissions test performed in a place where emissions in not required? I'm confused

Regardless, just to verify, the track heat will not pass emissions, Correct?

The intake will. The heads most likely wont.

uhh, if your going to spend all that money on a 347 12.5:1 stroker get a trickflow R intake/RPM 2/systemmax II and a custom cam....Im about to swtich over to custom even with my 302 setup.

The R intake manifold uses a 90mm throttle body doesnt it? Thats way too much for me since Im not going forced induction.......I think my combo will put my between 350-400hp with the stage II cam. That's all I need.

First off, a 90mm tb is NOT "too much" for a 12.5:1 347.

Second, theres a 75mm version of the R intake. I run that with my 75mm tb. A 90mm would be ideal but I wanted to keep my egr and the 90mm version doesn't have this.
