Trick flow 240s on milder builds versus Edelbrock RPMs

DC Dart said
Thanks for the reality check Andy. I bought the stroker kit from 440 source and had the machine work done around 10 years ago. 84 cc Edelbrocks RPMs were the plan. Years prior to the trick flows being an option. If I was to have started a build in the last year I would have gone the 470 route with a 12cc dish piston for trick flows. 10 years ago I debated 451 versus 470 went the proven route at the time. I do have Edelbrock RPMs 60925 ordered and I do not think I am going to cancel it now. They were on sale. My pistons are .008 below deck the compression will be higher than I want with the trick flows.
If I stay with a 4 speed I wont have to hack my freshly painted floor and scrape up my dynamat which would be a plus. Soooo I may be falling off the Trick Flow wagon on this project. But the 440 RB in the GTX will be a good 500ci Trick Flow candidate someday. I am going roller lifters and fuel injection still which was not the plan 10 years ago. All the input from everyone is appreciated very much.

Sounds good to me. You most likely are not going to miss the little bit of extra power that the Trick Flows would give you since that is a fairly light car and it is for the street anyway. If you want more power down the road you can always get the Edelbrock heads ported. You are smart for going with the Sniper setup. I think spending money on the Sniper rather than ported heads is the way to go for a street car. You'll be amazed at how well the car will run once you get the Sniper tuned. A smallish hyd roller cam combined with a Sniper setup will make it seem like you're driving a new car. Here is the low deck 512 I have in my Duster. It has a small hyd roller and EFI. Starts and runs like a new car.
