Best intake/head/cam setup 5.0

I know everyone will have their own personal opinions about this, but I was wondering what everyone thinks the best STREETABLE intake/head/cam setup is for a 5.0 is. I will be using stock pistons so valve clearance is a factor. If you could... include examples of cars that used the setup and times they ran. Thanks! :D

I would have to say the trick flow setup would be one of the best from what I have seen. 93TANG had this setup on his with the street heat intake street heads and e303 cam and went 12.74@107.66 I believe and none of the stuff was ported. I have also seen another car at the track with the same heads but with the track heat intake, trick flow stage 1 cam, full length headers and 4.30 gears go 12.40's@110 or better.

I'd say AFR's, a TFS track heat intake, and a Ed Curtis cam is the way to go. Combine that with longtubes, and the rest of the supporting equipment and you have a 320rwhp car.

 

As for off the shelf stuff, A TFS combo is hard to beat.

 

Just keep in mind that its the entire combo that makes power, not just individual parts. smile.gif

depends on your idea of streetable and how much hp you want to make.

 

I'll take a stab -

 

carb - 750cfm BG

intake - port matched vicJR

heads - vicJR heads (my 408w made 608hp/580ftlb with unported vicJR's - hard to beat for the price)

 

cam - I wont touch cam specs not knowing the level of 'streetability' you're talking about. Compression ratio is going to dictate a lot as far as cam specs. I would get a hydraulic roller or a solid roller for a few more hp, if you're not afraid of checking and setting valve lash.

Nothing wrong with AFR's at all. Trick flow has a nice package that they sell now, just look in a summit catalog. I have heard, from a reliable source, that a set of AFR's(165's) and a holley intake are killer and that was with the stock cam, so just think about that with an aftermarket cam.
