Trickflow or Edelbrock? 408 stroker

[Tomcat2]

I'm building a 351w stroker (408) with AFR 185 heads. I've narrowed it down to Trickflow or Edelbrock for the lower & upper. With the cost / availability of the lightning lower to go with the explorer / gt40 upper that I have already, it's pushed me towards aftermarket. I'm sure they both flow well.

So EFI then? If your doing aftermarket look at proflo3 from edelbrock. The proflo3 is comparable in price to the Holley Terminator setup, and includes an intake

In my opinion, Edelbrock is the better choice. I run an Edelbrock on my '87 Mustang and I love it. Not a big Trick Flow intake fan, but I love their heads and cams.

Your links are bad. They have a redirect to them. Check the properties and they don't go to the summit site.

TrickFlow is nice enough to publish the height of the intake, Edelbrock does not.

I have that Edelbrock on the Foxbody. I love it. I also have a Victor 5.0 for a future engine build.

I have run the trick flow on my 392 sefi since 2006- chassis dyno when it was tuned was just under 300 hp at the wheels with 40" MTR's, C4 and Atlas-The cam is idle to 4800-Know that hurt my overall hp, but rig was originally built as a trail truck-did not want to wait till 2500-3500 for tq and hp. The trick flow set up at the time seemed to be more user friendly with that rpm range.......

Wrong thread.

I bet the r series tf is a racier part. the ed unit would probably be more 4x4 friendly. both manufactures make good stuff. both say not available, by the way.
