What do you guys think of the different H/C/I kits for 5.0s that are available these days? Is anyone running any of them?

Trickflow and edelbrock both make nice kits but I prefer to piece mine together with my own cam and intake and I like the AFR heads the most. Just my 2cents

why is it better to miss match? For a daily driver a complete tested combo sure makes it easy. I know a couple of cars running the trick flow set up and they work well. Don't underestimate the ability for some people to fuck up a combo lol
