New toys ...

Ok, I believe I have my engine planned out ...

Block: 331 Stroker
Heads: TFS Twisted Wedge (61cc)
Cam: TFS (221/225 dur | .499/.510 lift)
Intake: TFS R Series (12.2" Runner)
Rockers: TFS 1.6

TB: 70mm
MAF: 70mm (93 Cobra OEM)
ECC: 93 Cobra OEM
Fuel: 24 lb | AFPR | 190 lph

I was going to go with the Track Heat intake but decided that the extra cubes would make up any tq lost by stepping up to the R series. The design looks very simular to the Holley Systemax intake. My only concern is hood clearance since it is slightly taller.

The next question is how will the t5 hold up against this

Parts collection for this is going to run 2-3 months, and I'm about to order the TFS kit and put the stoker on layaway. Before I get started does anyone have any input about anything I might want to consider?

I agree with the R intake. Good choice.

Re: New toys ...

I think the T5 will be ok as long as you're not launching on slicks or "Lee Fulmer" shifting all the time.

Re: New toys ...

traction and a clutch that doesn't slip at all.... that is a bad equation, but i have found after breaking three that if you lift the gas pedal when you shift and don't try and kill it, they still hold up pretty well overall.... mine has for the time being....knock on wood
