Trickflow HCI owners, question

[sage2k]

I have a trickflow head cam intake setup with a street heat, stage 1 cam, and 1 inch spacer

What rpm's are you guys shifting at?

 

[sleeperstang199]

what cam?

 

[sage2k]

trickflow stage 1 cam

Track heat......set to shift at 5800....

I have a 331 with the Track Heat H/C/I and stage 2 cam.... it pulls to 6,200 without even thinking about it.

6000-6200. Why a 1" spacer on an already too long runner manifold?

I see most shifting in the 5,800-6,000 RPM range

A friend of mine had the combination, and had good results hitting in between that mark with his track heat heads. Any more and it seemed to flatten out.

Retarding is an option

I prefer long runner intakes to help promote torque lower in the rpm band for a true street driven ride. Since the 5.090" rod is a shorter rod, it needs a little bit more runner volume. That is what that street heat provides with with 15.00" + 1.00"

Stroker combinations utilize longer rods, therefore need less runner volume. That take-in more air. You made a good choice in my opinion.

Try different rpm at the track, car's react a bit different, because of subtle differences. You may find, 5,700 works for you, or 6,100 works for you. It is all in trial and error

I think a 6K shift point would be a good starting point. As 5spd said, its not an exact science. A combination of track and dyno time will reveal the best shift point for you.
