Trick Flow worth it?

[blakshukvw]

Someone in my area is selling a used trick flow upper and lower intake for a 5.0. Is it a worthwhile upgrade on the X? Someone else near me is selling a complete Trick Flow upper end(heads, intakes, valvetrain and all ancillaries) for $1800. Is this worth looking into and is the price right? Its supposed to be all brand new, never used.

The Trick Flow intake will not gain you anything. The stock intake is a GT40.

You will have to buy a set of Torque Monster headers to fit the TF heads. The GT40P heads have a unique design and no other exhaust manifold will bolt up.

Plus the head & cam swap will not gain you much since the factory exhaust manifolds are the cork in the system.

which heads? that top end will gain you quite a bit of power as long as you get a set of torque monster headers for it too. I would sell the cam though and get a custom cam.

Twisted wedge heads. So the stock upper and lower are basically GT-40 items, correct? Dan did you get your headers on yet?

Not yet. I'm looking at the end of April early May when it's warm outside.

Hey, I need your help diagnosing a noise in the front driveline of my X. You have any time?
