Default Which is better?



I was wondering which would be better for the money. The Trick flow setup costs 2 Grand and claims 350hp/370Tq. The blower would be an inexpensive used or Cheap 6 psi new one. The blower would be more to buy but less to install. Both claim about the same hp numbers. any opions? </P>

I was thinking of saving the 1200 in install for the kit and I was actually gonna get my chiltons and park the car in my garage for a week and try and put it all in step buy step. It this crazy and is there anything I could F**k up beyond repair? I am mabye 4 out of 10 on the mechanic scale. </P>

1200 is the cost of sweet heads!!! definately DIY!! it isnt you car unless you turn your own wrenches!! the only way i can think of that you can mess up is over torqueing your bolts or doing them in the wrong order or not putting the cam in right. as long as you follow the book word for word you wont have any troubles with it. if you do, ask us. we can help</P>

I do all of my own wrench turning, unless I don't have the tools or it requires a high degree of precision. I don't have a lift or dial indicator, so I'm not likely to do a clutch or ring/pinion change.

Same here.But if i really wanted to do it myself i have acess to a lift.But i leave things like gears and and theextreme precision installs to a good family friend that runs a shop.But when i need a lift or a welder i have full acess to his shop.</P>


</P>


Definately turn your own wrenches.Its as simple as putting it back the way you took it apart.The hardest part for you being a novice mechanic will be the cam.Other than that its simple.And it shouldnt take you a week.I'd say the better part of 3 days since you are going to want to go slow and take your time.</P>


And as he said if you arent sure just ask.Thats what the forum is for.</P>

cost of paying for someone to do it for you &gt; the cost of buying the tools to do it most times. so DIY and get "free" tools
