TrickFlow or Edelbrock Heads

[SuperDust22]

Ok I know I always am asking what heads to go with but now it's time to make my decision. I will buying the heads within two weeks. I have narrowed it down to the trickflow and the Edelbrock. I will also buy a cam. I think I just want a mild cam. My car is a daily driver I don't want too much lope. Which heads should I go with? I know Edelbrock just came out with a new design. Are they better than the trickflows? After the heads and cams I won't do much more upgrades to the engine. The only other thing will be nitrous and a tranny rebulit with a 3000-3500 stall. What cam would be best for my set up. Remenber I have am AODE. And what trickflow head is the best? I know they make different ones.

Heres something to think about... if you ever want to go with a bigger cam in the future, you'll need to get new pistons if you go with the Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads.

As for which ones are better, I couldnt tell you

actually the twisted wedge heads can take a fairly large cam without having the pistons fly cut.

I probably won't go with a much bigger cam in the future.

I like them both so it would be up to getting a good deal on either of them.

My Edels have been trouble free for 3 years, so I would vote for them.

you cant go wrong with the trickflow heads and the trickflow stage 1 cam. you can get the tfs heads for $995 brand new and the stage 1 cam is $130. you cant beat those prices.

I would buy Edelbrocks. The will make more power across the board than the TF's because they are more velocity oriented with the 1.9 valves.

the trickflows provide much more room to grow though without the need of special pistons.

If I bought the trickflows from mustangs unlimted, what else would I have to buy for the heads? And is there a big differance between the Trickflow stage 1 cam and the stage 2?

Do not get the stage 2 unless you are going with a race oriented motor or stroker combo. The duration and tight LSA of the stage 2 will throw our processors into a fit.

if you want a mild cam that will idle well and make good power, as well as not completely pissing off the computer, the stage 1 is the right choice. to go with the heads, you will nead an upper intake gasket, felpro1250 lower intake gaskets, felpro1011-2 headgaskets, a set of fox body valve covers, and a set of stud mount 1.6 rockers. for the cam swap, you will need a water pump gasket, a timing cover gasket, and i would recommend a new timing chain while you have it all apart.

if you want to hear the tfs stage 1 cam at idle, here is a vid.

about how much am I looking at for all of this? And can I just go to the junkyard and get some fox body vavle covers?

I don't know how to do quotes. I hope this works.
