This engine was built for the street but it will get a little time at the track. It has 11:1 compression a 550 lift at .50 cam with 230 duration. I am running a set of edelbrock performer heads that have had a considerable amount of port work done to them. My question is, should I run the trick flow track heat or go ahead and run the R series?? The R kind of scares me but if it will work I'd love to run it. thanks for the advise.

I'd stick with the track heat or get an Edelbrock RPM intake.

TFS R kills every intake listed in this thread, thats my vote. At minimum use a holley systemax, but my vote is the R.

With your setup, I would recommend a Victor 5.0 (assuming your are rev'ing beyond 6500).

You guys are all gonna confuse this poor guy...Almost everyone has a different answer.

I dont have the RIGHT answer, but wouldnt an Edlebrock brand intake work better, since he has performer heads?

RC

Since it's a street car that runs at track...i'd agree with Zach.

TFS R

No complaints about the R intake on my 347. That thing is a beast and looks mean to boot. I will never run another intake, bolt it on and you will know where I am coming from.

keep in mind you might have some hood clearance issues when you get into some of these bigger intakes, especially if you run any spacers.

good luck

I have had good luck with my systemax.. I think anything aftermarket will do you just fine.

AFM had an article about different intakes they dyno tested on the same setup and all of them were within 5 or so horse of each other, even the bread box intakes, with the exception of the systemax hehehe...

http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.com/media/intake.htm

of coarse not every intake was on there. And im sure with a different setup you would get different results from each, but that gives you an idea though how close they all compare to each other for the most part.

Any 1500-6500 rpm intake will work great. I personally like the trick flow after installing one on my buddies 91 hatch. Great intake.
