Holley Head package
I am going to get one of these setups for my vette.

Has anyone else run these and what kind of power levels can I expect from this setup? Like 350? Also what would be a good electric fan to run?

Or maybe something like this.

But it has no intake and will not accept a center bolt intake. Which brand is not centerbolt?

The trick flows have a superior head package and very mild cam. The Holley unit has a cam and setup very near the Edelbrock performer rpm kit.
The higher HP unit will help you find the weak spots if you have any!

Hello! I just finshed installing the Trick Flow Head package.The kit was a great bargain and very high quality.It even came with roller rockers!I installed this kit on a stock 1980 L82.When the kit came I noticed that the heads that they shipped are not the cnc heads from Trick Flow,so I whined to Summit and the exchanged them with the cnc heads for $150 more! The cam is a bit mild but the idle is smooth and has good vacum.Mid range is explosive!!!I did not go with the Holley kit because they want a Zeored decked block and the cam looked a little to hot.

If I run the trickflow setup will a Edelbrock performer intake work with it? Also will my holly 700 carb have enough flow to feed that horsepower. As for the Holley setup what carb would I have to run, like an 800 cfm or something? About what is my tranny good for hp wise? A mechanic once told me 400. Does this seem right.?

I've got the Holley setup on my '69 Camaro. 300 to the wheels through a th350 and 12 bolt. I've been really happy with it and it is definitely a bargain. I shot a couple of small video clips for another forum member and if your interested I'll send them your way.
