i sugest against the edelbrock 6037's. I also sugest against the tfs intake. I have both. Wish i had TFS or AFR heads and the TFS box upper or the Edelbrock performer upper.

but i have read that the prof. prods are identical to the edelbrock but the ports are as clean as the edelbrocks, they have a link to ford muscle on the ebay link and its has an article on gasket matching it.

In comparison from say the rpm or performer models because the vic jr's own the track heat heads.
I would never use a tfs intake unless it was free. Even then I might consider selling it for an edelbrock.

I have the street heat. What heads are you running? Don't waste your time if you don't have heads.

No SBF aluminum head I've come across compares QUALITY WISE to Edelbrock! Every bolt hole in the head is helicoiled & the aluminum they use is not as soft as others (like AFR). There are other nice features that others should have but don't.
As far as power, how can you compare the 6037 1.90/1.60 175cc Edelbrock heads to 2.02/1.60 185cc TW heads? The TW head will out power the 6037's (& since HP is TQ * RPM / 5252, the TW's should make more HP higher in the RPM). Now, compared to the performer RPM head (2.02/1.60) the TW's will still make slightly more peak power due to the large cross-sectional area compared to the 20 degree inline Edelbrock head. However, you must also take into account the cross-sectional area of each head which plays a BIG role in power 'under the curve'. The chambe design of the TW head is superior to most 20 degree inline heads (all other popular SBF heads). However, you must also realize this puts un-even loads on the pushrods/rocker arms/vavles & they will wear slightly faster then the Edelbrocks (or any 20 degree inline head). (not even noticable really, but worth mentioning)
I've made really good power with the Edelbrock 6037's (1.90/1.60) & ran circles around most TW combos. (11.99 @114.6mph on the stock bottom end in a 3300lb GT) That's due to how the combo as a whole was setup. I only mention this to point out that you can make REALLY good power with any of the above heads.
As for intake manifolds.... I prefer the Edelbrock line for a few reasons.
1. Quality is unmatched
2. 4 different intakes to suit your combo's RPM/cross-sectional needs
3. Less restrictive then the TFS intakes. (although the RPM2 is just as restrictive as the TFS intakes). This has to do with the design of the upper intake manifold as the air flows into the plenum. The old Edelbrock line (all but the RPM2) uses the same style upper design as the stock, cobra, & GT40 intakes. The incoming air flows through the middles of the intake into the plenum. The RPM2 & TFS intakes are different in that the incoming air flows over the top of all 8 runners into the plenum. This may sound more efficient to some, but you must understand that anytime the airflow changes direction or has to conform to different port demensions (like going from square to round, or in this case round to flat & wide) it loses velocity....which is engergy basically. The more turns & contures in the intake, the less airflow velocity & power it'll make. The most power will be made with the straightest shot to the valve.
Hense, I ditched the RPM 2 I had & went back to the old Edelbrock 'tried & true' line. (in this case I opted for a Victor EFI)
Oh....& IMO the TFS intakes are butt-ugly.
