I'm just about to buy the engine kit (head,cam,intake,gasket,valve cover,double roller timing chain,etc) that trickflow sells. I just need a bit more informantion about this kit, like reliabilaty, problemes faced, shift point, peak hp and torque RPM, and how many hp should I get (350-360 claimed by trickflow) if I take this kit with 30 lb/hr injectors, 75mm t/b, 75 mm MAF, short tube header, 2.5 inch exhaust line, no cats, a T-5, 3.73 gear and .030 overbore. Thanks.

Sorry for the quality of my english.

Your combo sounds good to me,mine is similar other than I'm using the stage2 cam and port work to the heads..350-360 is a little optimistic out of the box but could be achieved,from reading Corral.net and some other sites 310-320hp is probably about average from what I've seen..My times are in my sig haven't had it dyno'ed but you'll get an idea of the performance level

I asked about the same question and there were a couple of guys on corral.net who already put down anywhere from 300-329rwhp and quite a bit of torque too so this is definately a great kit from what all the TFS kit users have said. Some have times posted already in the low 13 second range.

I'm gonna get a compression test done. Hopefully my head's valve seats are worn instead of the rings so I have an excuse to get the kit. If it's my rings, gonna need another rebuild and save up some more $$$.

Is that all? I should be low 12's easily with a tune and some more traction. I didnt buy a kit though. I did it the old fashion way. I bought all the parts seperate about 3 years ago.

That kit seems like a good combo because everything will be made to work togeather. I think it would shine the best on a blower car though due to the large intake and heads.

I bough the kit at François Julien Performance in Quebec.

I know that Summit can get you this kit but they didn't receive all the parts because the kit is not officialy for sale.
