  • Sponsors (?)


:search:

Ha thats all i can say... There has been countless threads on this subject. Yes it comes with everything, yes its a good top end kit(Norm. is around 300rwhp from what i've seen). It could use TB, MAF, injectors etc.. But doesn't have to have it.

Extra Notes:

The street heat intake has 15 inch runners and the track heat intake has 12 inch runners.

The street heat heads come with smog provisions and the track heat does not. The track heat heads can be ported a bit more because of this.

Both the street heat and track heat heads come with 3/8” rocker studs and the track heat heads can be upgraded to thicker 7/16” rocker studs. Just call your sales representative to get the upgrade.

Both street heat and track heat versions have the option to come with dual valve springs and 10* locks.

Twisted Wedge and Street Heat Heads are the same, not to be confused with Track Heat.

The trickflow h/c/i packages are more designed for the fox-body cars do to valve cover tallness and throttle body adapter plate not being included.

Now, here is some things I would make sure you have when you do a heads, cam, intake swap:

They are a good bang for the buck package.
 
I have it on my car now, I love it. Really makes a difference. I went with 24lb injectors and a 90mm MAF. REALLY REALLY wish I would've went with 30lbs though, there is so much more in this combo if I had bigger injectors. I opted for the Stage2 cam instead of the Stage1 it comes with, only like $30 more if done at the point of sale (Summit helps). I'm putting down 310rwhp and 312rwtrq with a moderate tune. It's a lovely setup, but yes definetly listen to the recommended parts list, especially if the engine has never been taken apart. I went with a new water pump while I was in there, same with the t-stat.

Your maxing your 24lb fuel injectors out with 310rwhp? :shrug: Why would you need 30's?
 
Yeah, according to my engine tuner and the data I was viewing, I get very lean at about 5300 rpm. This is still with the injector pulse width (?) maxed or close to maxing out. The fuel pressure was and remains at 39-42psi. The tuner said if I had gone to atleast 30's I could play around more in the 5300-6150rpm range because with the Stage2 I'm still making good power into 6k range.

You have an upgraded fuel pump right?
 
The kit does not include a lot of things:)

Injectors, Fuel Pump, and all the odds and ends to remove and install it.

If your lifters are in good shape, you can reuse them with that camshaft.
