Trick flow cylinder heads are far superior to Edelbrocks. This is coming from someone who has Edelbrock cylinder heads.

This is kind of a vague question. Edelbrock and Trick Flow make a bunch of different type of heads, cams, and intakes for different applications.
Are you looking for something that is street legal? What is the motor combo going to be?

Depends on what he's building. If it was a 347 I'd much rather have a set of Victor jr.'s on it that twisted wedges. But high ports would also be comparable to the vic's.

I personally like the Edelbrock line and have used them on MANY applications with great results.I am not a fan of the Trick Flow line at all and do not use the parts.AFR however is the best cylinder head IMO.......But for an affordable good powered combo that your looking for Id go with the Edelbrocks

the combos would either be a 306 or a 331 put mainly which would be better for a 306 since ill end up getting this.
i was thinking the tfs top end kit
or
afr 165 heads, e cam, a rpm 2 intake.

The e-cam is going to leave lots of power on the table with that setup... lots

Yes on the AFR's
No on the E cam it would be pointless to have the AFRS,there are many good cams available.You dont need a custom cam,the combo your doing is common
And I would look for an original RPM Intake vs the RPM 2

The TFS top end kit is good for a mild 306 or 331. It's affordable, everything is matched, smog legal and you will make good power.
There are probably better setups but the Trick Flow stuff works well
The e-cam would not be matched very well to your second combo. I would look into another cam if you decide to go that route.

Ok what do you guys think about this combo,
302 bottom end
Performer intake
Performer heads
What would be a good cam for that too end? I was thinking about the edelbrock cam that is in the performer package.
I know Haulinassmaro will approve. And then throw some N20 at it and would I be able to hit low-mid 12's on drag radial's?
I need to convert to mass air and get my sub frame connectors and 373 gears I want to hit low 12's NA then have the nitrous as a backup incase things get close.

Sounds like a good combo. Are you rebuilding your motor at the same time? If so I would build a 347 and not a 302. The minimal extra cost will be well worth the result ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Don't forget to budget for an upgraded fuel system, roller rockers, etc.

i want to see how fast i can go with the stock 302 and im not going to do a 347 with the stock block.
for fuel im prob gonna get some 36lb injectors and maf, i already have a 255lph pump and aeromotive fpr.

i searched around and couldnt find anyone running mid 12's on stock 302 bottom ends, only high 12's(12.8+) with the trick flow pieces and the edelbrock pieces are tried and true setup of parts.
and haulinassmaro has great success with it and ive found people running mid - low 12's on stock 302's so i dont know what i want to do right now.
if i go tfs i would buy the track heat package that they sell which includes everything i would need to install those parts for a litte over $2k
if i go edelbrock it would be performer rpm intake,F cam or something similar, performer rpm heads. and i would still have to buy all the gaskets, new bolts and misc things like that extra.
my friend who used to run all tfs parts on the top end of a 306 ran strong when he had it, i never found out what it ran at the track but would beat quite a few cars with more power than hhim, but he sold the car and bought a 68 chevelle.
and also i could be different and go trick flow becuase everyone i know now uses edelbrock and only 1 of my friends uses trick flow parts.
