I believe that I read that Rick at RNH performance can customize the kit for you. Might be worth it to contact him.

summit is the only place I will order parts from now. LRS isnt bad either, but summit is my first choice.

Jay Allen of camshaft innovations gets my vote. custom cam, matched valvetrain components, and good service.

i've also had good luck with summit. however, i think i read on here that u can order a trick flow h/c/i kit from anderson ford and if u want they will customize it for u. but i'm not sure about that.

You can't go wrong with Summit Racing. That is if you want the TrickFlow kit 100% as TrickFlow spec'd it out. I do believe that Summit will delete some parts, like the intake manifold etc. if you order it that way. I purchased mine from Anderson Ford Motorsports. They will customize the kit, however you want it, with whatever speed parts you want. If you wanted to substitute a Ford Racing part or whatever, AFM will make sure that everything that you order will work properly together. Some of AFM's parts are PRW (Performance Racing Warehouse) which are less expensive, but still very high quality, I have found.

Thanks gentlemen....

While I agree that Anderson and Jay Allen will do an excellent job, I'd still recommend Rick. He participates in our forums with tech advice and I know he either works with Jay Allen or Ed Curtis in regards to valve train if you want. Also, everyone seems to be happy with his work.

Thanks.... I have a few things to take care of before I get to this project. We'll see how much money I have. I'd like to get it all taken care of in one swipe. I may also find it a benefit to find someone local to do the work for me so that I can fall back on their expertise in case some thing needs additional attention. If it were just a matter of swapping parts I'd take a wack at it like everything in the past. It's adjusting the timing a fuel and playing with the adjustables that I'd get over my head. If I can give a shop my car and pick it up in a week all ready to go... it's worth the peace of mind.

But here's another question.... how much would I expect to pay for that service??

Where do you live?

Milwaukee..... Beer Town.

 

[strtrcr50]

Too far for me to help you..

 

[CornerCarvin67]

Thanks for the thought...

 

[Jaswir]

shop would be 1,000+ to install it all

 

[CornerCarvin67]

That's F'n crazy...

 

[bgoins]

u could always call or email AFM and ask them what they charge to install their own top-end kit. just to have an idea of what a quality install would cost.

I would say more then a grand.....thats a lot of labor at 80 plus an hour......I just had to replace my intake on my grand marquis.....if I had a shop do it it would have been 1200 for the intake and labor....so basically 600 in labor just for an intake swap....shop prices are getting out of hand

sorry to bring up a dead thread, ive been doing some research and this caught my attention. is this something AFM offers on their website or do you have to contact someone?

i dont see where RNH offers this but im interested

EXACTLY. Jay designed my combo with a custom camshaft and every little nut and bolt and made the power I asked for and then some. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Jay at CI. He also has lifetime customer service.
