Same here. Not on a 302, not goign to happen. yes there are "factory Freaks" out there but nothing that will add on 50 extra HP to the rear wheels

so i asked the tech guy at trickflow and he said the intake and heads are carb legal but the cam is not. my only concern is that would my car still pass the smog test with this mild cam. i mean there is no way that they could visually tell i have a cam

You should be fine...the e cam passes smog and the tfs stage 1 profile is really not that much different.

Ya I'm sorry but there is no way in hell. He must be inflating those numbers. Maybe he meant flywheel... but most of the trickflow kits hit around 290hp.

if it was me i'd find a deal on some twedge heads, a cobra intake, and save the rest for a s-strim the stock cam will be fine and you will easily reach your goal with the option to go a lot further.... or just go right for the s-trim. a kb is gonna kick the sh*t out of your trainy and drive train and your gonna have know money. do it right the first time

well the kit comes with a new timing chain plus the water pump aint that old. do you think the sensors are a good idea though?

If your car ran fine with the old sensors, no need to replace them. They ain't cheap.

The mishimoto is a great radiator and made a vast improvement on my car BUT it won't hold up to ANY abuse... so be ultra careful with it. (I.E. mine cracked at the seal on the tank and is useless and I wasn't pulling that hard on the hose.)
