How is it that you get 360 hp with this, and is it still daily driveable?

and also why is it that is the same fuggin price as the one with 350 hp? I mean of course im gonna get the extra 10 hp lol

 

[hottwheels04]

thats 350-360 crank hp, which is 270-300rwhp+

Yes. Perfectly streetable. Don't know why one is 350 and another 360 - they're them. Perhaps a typo.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

wow theres that much of a loss to the wheels cuz of like Ac and powersteering n stuff?

Trick Flow makes 2 different top end kits, one has a better intake so that's why ones 360 and ones 350. One is the street burner intake and the other is the Track Heat that is if that is still the name of it.

Its a loss due to the drivetrain components. The power the Engine puts out to what actually gets to the rear wheels is about a 15% loss

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

well thats very informative so i guess for the same price ill just get the 360 when i get the money.

The power steering, water pump, and air conditioning also sap power. It's not just the drivetrain.

I know, I was adding to what he already said. I should have put in "also" but didnt think I needed to.

 

[Paul]

Ah. Check. Over and out.

they are rated at different horsepower because one is track heat which is rated for 350 because the cylinder heads and intake manifold runners are designed for a power band of idle to 5500 rpm are is more oriented for drag racing more lower better torque in lower rpm and the track heat has cylinder heads and intake manifold runners to make power from 1500-6500 rpm which is better for road racing and such but the torque isn't the same in the lower rpm

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Hmmm so which is better for the street and Road course? The 360 hp one?

either one

 

[brad94GT]

the 350hp one is 60 dollars less woooo

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

hmm so you say the 350hp has better torque right?? so im gonna save up for that one if thats the case

 

[stang94X]

hmm so you say the 350hp has better torque right?? so im gonna save up for that one if thats the case

its the diffence in intakes, the 350 hp kit has an intake with smaller longer runners so it will provide good hp and more tq but the 360 hp kit has an intake that has a little bigger and little shorter runners that will gain more hp in the top end but will lose a little tq down low, both would be fine to get, but if it were me i would get the the 360 hp kit; then get some gears (if you dont already have them) and it'll bring new life to the low end

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

OK thanks

 

[LAFENATU]

The 350HP kit is the better of the 2 imo.

You drive your car on the street more than at the track right?? I would rather have more torque for the street. The difference in 10HP, if that is truly the difference is not even missed.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Ya, that's a good point but I have plenty of time to save up for it , hell I've only got 420 bucks saved up and ill probably get bolt ons first

Like? Be sure not to spend money on things you wont necessarily need yet
