edelbrock vs trickflow

[nick6690]

i dont have a car yet but when i do, im gonna get a 5.0 and i was wondering which is better, the edelbrock performer 2 or the trick flow track heat intake?

from what ive seen the edelbrock performer 2 makes more power. i would peice togthere your own kit, may cost a little more but your gona make more power. mabey some afr 165s. trickflow kit is a very nice kit, but from what ive seen cars with them make around 270whp. that isnt bad buty for over 200o bills u can do beter.

yeah true but the intake is part of the total package

I always thought that the stang guys liked the trickflow heads to go w/ that trickflow intake?? I know that for the 4th gen fbody, I would take the trickflow version of the LS6 heads....those things flow the best of any for my car.

In my opinion, edelbrock is living off their past reputation / marketing and you can find better performing parts elsewhere. Ive never really been impressed with their products. Their LT1 aftermarket heads barely flow better than the stock ones. Trickflows have always put out top quality parts that perform. I would do some research and see what results ppl are getting and with what combo and go from there.
