Trick Flow H/C/I????

5.0snake · Apr 7, 2005

Guys I plan on doing a top end swap from trick flow after I get my paint done!! What kind of performance can I expect as well as performance in general not just power wise but reliablity. I know trick flow is a well known vender. But how do you think it will react to a 94 cobra?

Just my .02

but for that kind of money id buy a blower, you have a better engine to start with than most GT's. I wouldnt crack it open until it starts showing its age.

well dude as from researching ill be doing the same kinda. I already have the stage 1 cam. I won't get the intake (waste for what i'm doing). I'm just getting all my supporting parts right now before i get heads,rockers,lifters, valvesprings and pushrods.

I would think that the Trick Flow top end kit would give you somewhere around 300rwhp.

I've seen the kits for as little as $1995 new on eBay.

Get it! It is an awesome kit for the $$$ and I do not think that you can beat that any other way. The power is very good. I have a pro-chamber/40 series flows and it really screams. Great power over 2000 and it just keeps pulling harder and harder.

If you get the kit You will need:
3/8" Spacer (To clear valvecovers from the EGR)
Oil Fill kit (Puts Oil filler in valvecovers)

I'm not real happy with mine to tell you the truth. my dyno readout only gave me 240 rwhp! it feels slower than before!

Man... That's a bummer. That just don't sound right. My 94 GT makes 191 rwhp bone stock!

Well then my friend...you have something wrong. Cause stock with exhaust on my car I put out 245rwhp and 300rwtq on a mustang dyno with a load of 3600lbs. Anway, I dont wanna get a blower, to many supporting parts and besides, I wanna go N/A. In the future, when I come close to 100,000 miles I will do a 331 stroker.

Ok...sounds good. where can I get the 3/8" spacer and the Oil fill kits?

another thing...should I get new replacement roller lifters and will I need the throttle body adaptor for the 94-95?

Something is definitely wrong there. I know mine doesn't put out the power others with the TFS kit does, because it only traps at 104 mph, but I am getting a dyno tune soon. Does it drive smooth? Have any misses? There is definitely something up with that.

What kind of dyno was it, on a 248c dynojet I dyno'd 245rwhp, 292rwtq w/just gt-40, cai, equals, off road x, flows. On the same dyno, my last run was in sig, w/all of that crap missing and the exhaust leak.

Yes, you will need to by the trickflow throttle body adapter. the Street inlet has a 75mm throttle body opening and the adapter has a 75 also. I'm pretty sure the edelbrock is smaller so stick with trickflow. All of these parts can be found from summit racing.

TFS-51400800 trickflow oil fill kit (summit)
TFS-51520007 trickflow heat spacer (summit)

When I redid mine i used oem quality FRPP lifters, also frmo summit, they were around $120.

haulbalz · Apr 7, 2005

well, what do you guys think could be going on, idle isn't the best in the whole world, but?????

cavscout371 · Apr 7, 2005

I bought all mine from summit
track heat kit 2095
elbow 90
oil fill 25
spacer 50

nice thing about summit is its free shipping I also got the 1.7 rockers cause the 1.6's were back ordered wich is good for what I'm trying to do anyways at no additional cost

also I've been told buy other people that have bought the kit that the head gaskets are crap so you might want to buy some fel-pros

5.0snake · Apr 9, 2005

yea I was told the same thing about the gaskets. I have to get fel-pros and IM gonna get arp head studs, ill need the spacer and the oil fill as well.! Thanks guys!

Anyone have clips of how there car sounds with the stg 1 cam?

pleasehelp · Apr 10, 2005

I may be wrong but I think my kit came with arp bolts or studs(I can't remember) with it already. Sorry, I would double check but I don't have the kit with me.

cavscout371 · Apr 10, 2005

it comes with arp head bolts not studs
