trick flow?
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Trick Flow product line I am thinking of using thereTwisted Wedge heads, gasket sets, cams and pistons. Thank you for the help. Shaun
Just as an added not I also plan on using a Holley Street Avenger carb 670cfm. Edelbrock Air-Gap intake manifold. Not sure about the rods, rings ect... if you have any sugestions let me know.
thanks, shaun

All of the components you suggested are good pieces, and it is a really good idea to get the matching pistons and cam. However. if you are already buying the expensive pistons, why not get the trick flow 393 stroker pistons and a scat 3.85 crank? The pistons are the same price, and the crank is 400.00 from Flatlander, and you need to get the original engine balanced anyway. You can re-use your stock rods, and this allows you to stay conservative with a cam and build a torque monster in the process. I might suggest going with a regular Edelbrock performer intake instead of a RPM air gap. This engine will only need to rev to maybe 5500 rpm, and the regular performer will do just fine, while producing better low-rpm torque. By the way, what tranny is your truck equipped with?

i have used the twisted wedge heads for several years. my only advice would be to follow their recomendations ie don't mix and match valve train components. pay particular attention to rocker arm geometry. i haven't used any of their stuff in a truck application only in a street/strip ford falcon.
