Edelbrck vs Trick Flow
I just figured that since the Trick Flows were CNC ported vs the casted Edelbrocks they would flow that much better. I realize a bigger camshaft would take more advantage of the better flowing TF, but just didn't have it in the budget. TF flow 41 cfm better at .500 lift compared to the Edelbrock, which I guess as everyone says would be 20 hp. We have a 850 carb we can try and see what that does. I guess I was more hopeful than realistic on the gain. On my car I started with 440 source heads OOTB, than had them ported (picked up basically nothing). Than I went to smaller cam (.590 to .557, smaller headers (2" to 1 3/4") and TF 240 heads and picked up 3 tenths. I guess I was just hoping dad would have similar results.
