looking at a trickflow intake...some?'s about it

[Roland69]

I have a chance to get a trick flow (I think it is a street heat) upper and lower intake for $400
is this a good deal and how well do they work. What size TB matches up with them

oh I should mention it is used....I don't know how to tell if it is a track heat or a street heat by looking at it. any way to tell

 

[ShortThrow50]

I dont know how to tell bro but I have the street heat with the 70mm tb

The street manifold is for EGR engines so the upper intake will have a small hole under the big hole for the throttle body opening and in the center of the runners on the lower flange of the upper. That intake is only $450.00 new?

 

[bloopbloob]

what other mods do you have????

Terrible deal. And 75mm tb is what matches up. You don't need a tb at your level, but 75mm is the ticket if you do get one. I sold my stret heat intake with a spacer for $275 years ago.

What did you put in its place? Any noticeable gains? Im always open to new ideas

I sold it because I was building a 347 and it was too small. I went with the trickflow R. If I still had the 302 I would have swapped to an edelbrock rpm with a 75mm tb.

I think $400 is way too much for a used intake that only costs $450 new. I have the street heat currently. The only issue I have with the TFS intakes are that the mounting bolts aren't easy to get to. I had to grind on the intake to be able to get a swivel socket on two of the mounting locations. I was even using a stud kit rather than bolts and still had clearance issues. I think the street is a good intake for a mildly modded 302. Once you start adding a bigger cam and heads then it becomes a little too small. I'm seeing that now on my current setup. I'm planning on upgrading to the Edelbrock RPMII or the Holly Systemax.

As stated by bullitstang, that is a bad deal for something you can buy brand new for $450.

As for the throttle body, the intake opening is 75mm, but it necks DOWN to the 60-65mm range a few inches in. A 75mm throttle body is a waste of extra money that you could put somewhere else. A nice 65mm will flow plenty, for nice h/c/i combo's to mild strokers. I have never seen any information to the contrary and I have READ and EXPERIENCED my fair share of it

FYI: The Edelbrock Performer RPM is no longer being made. You may be able to find one locally or on Ebay.

That is what I would consider a typical deal, especially since it is the track heat version.

Dont mean to steal the thread but Im looking into a trickflow kit as well. Just wondering if $2500 for this kit sounds like a decent deal. Basically a trickflow track heat top end kit, everything included like gaskets and hardware to bolt it on, trickflow roller rockers (are they any good?), cam & pushrods inlcuded. The only thing I think Id have to buy seperate was the lifters. Everything is new. I thought it sounded like a decent deal?

Edit- I just noticed it even comes with a new timing chain/cover, and valve covers too.

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.
