    Difference in Top End Kits

    Been looking at different top end kits.

    Late Model Resto Has a new kit out featureing the GT40 heads. Power wise, what is the difference between the Trick flow, and the ones with the GT40's?

    1st kit is a Cobra Intake, GT40x Heads, and a E303 cam $2,279.95

    2nd kit is Cobra Intake, GT40p Heads, and a E303 cam $1,1649.95

    Then you have the Trick Flow Twisted Wedge top end kit which is supposed to put you up in the 350hp to 360hp range depending on which set up you get priced between $2419.95 - $2529.95. That kit includes the heads, intake, and cam as well.

    Input please, cuz I have no idea which kit to get. I want my car steetable, but nice power. And if the Late Model resto kit isn't much off in numbers from the Trick Flow, then I would prolly end up going with the LMR ones. I may look into a small blower in the future as well, prolly only about 6-8psi.

      Id go with the wedges, if the day ever comes where you need more head you can port the hell out of them and make some big power. gt40s are good heads but they dont compare to TW's. a cobra intake is only good for around 350hp na where a TFS intake can support over 400. just make sure you get the upgraded spring package its worth the money.
      You can save some money and buy used and piece a kit to gether for probably around $1,800. just becareful with buying used heads.

                That would be a great idea if LS motors didn't suck so much.

                Just what I want to do.. spend $3k on something that someone else has worn out and used up.

                              LS motors dont suck they are actually quite efficent and reliable...you just dont put one in a ford thats all.
