Trick Flow Intake for small block Mopar

-
My intake just shipped as well.
I have a brand new air gap on the shelf that I've had since 2012 as well.
Was going to cancel the trickflow order but decided not to.

Do you want to sell the AirGap?

Funny. I did the exact same thing. I didn't want to cancel it. Figure they're almost a collectable item at this point.
 
Intake was delivered today! Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality. It's so light! Even compared to other aftermarket intakes that I have. I didn't put them on a scale but it weighs at least 30% less than every other one that I've got.

Here's some side by side action with an Indy 360-1 square port intake. Obviously two different tools for different purposes, but this will give you guys a comparison:









 
Overall Height:

Indy - 7.125"
TF - 6"





The only thing that I can't figure out are the intake bolt holes. They're significantly larger than my other intakes. Not sure if this is deliberate or if they messed up. But they're 0.51" while my other intakes take a 0.375" bolt.



Aside from that, this should flow really nice. Ports look really good. There are a few small spots that I'm going to touch with the carbide bit, but I'm OCD. Most people wouldn't even notice.

Anyways. They're shipping. Hope this helps.

I wonder how this would compare height wise to the Strip Dominator/M1?

On summit it says.
"Trick Flow® Track Heat® intake manifolds are precision CNC-machined from A319 aluminum to reduce weight and give your small block Mopar engine more power."

So I would think this would mean there should not be core shift issues? I assume this does not mean CNC ported?

Does it have a date of manufacture on any of the packaging?
Bolt holes are probably a little larger to help fit differences in deck heights, so no grinding will usually be required.

Whatever QC issues they had they must have fixed. The more that I look at this thing, the more I like it. It's just very...uniform. Is the best way I can describe it. Like their machining programming is on-point.

I measured the ports on the TF heads and they are dead-nuts the same 1 1/16". It'll be interesting to see its durability as I'm beating the snot out of it.

Negative. Not that I could find. I'd be curious to know. There are double sets of stamped numbers on the manifold itself though. Which I thought was strange. Almost like they stopped a run and then started the sequence over.

Has anyone flow tested this new intake yet or done any sort of A-B Testing? Looking forward to seeing some more info. It seems like people wre only able to buy them for a little while before they had there foundry issues.

I have a Strip Dominator on my 408 but was thinking of trying this intake as an upgrade. Who knows when it will ever be available again.

Doubt the trick flow would be an upgrade to the strip intake.

Everything 'piston wise/shock wise' that I have bought that was made here in the USA that is now made in mexico..weighs more.

So say you want one piston because you popped a ring land or scuffed it... you get the new one and then find yourself finding a way to grind 7 grams off of it to match your others in the balanced assembly.
Been there, it's ******* annoying like red X's with no rebuttal.

Wonder which intake( trick flow or Victor Jr) would ET better on a fairly healthy Eddie stroker motor

Mine will be going on a 10.5:1 421ci stroker with TF heads. 601 int/ 601 exh cam 236/242

We're putting it on an engine dyno first with the Indy and then switching to the TF to get a comparison. It'll cost me an extra $400, but I'm a data junky :)

Well didn't give an X for rebuttal. But just had enough of so many individuals bashing Mexican made products that's all. Not only from you. I have had no issues with stuff coming from down south. There is hit or miss in products from any country including here in the US.

The reality that people won't acknowledge is that you can get the same quality from manufacturing facilities in the USA, Mexico, or China. It is simply a matter of what you are paying for the part and how the process and control plans are setup and executed. I have seen complete crap come from USA plants in every corner of the country, we aren't as unique as some would like to think in this regard. Quality costs, it's universal. The clever guy figures out how to produce with acceptable quality while still staying in business.

And what some people aren't considering is the fact that wherever it was made originally, it was made better than it is made now. ..and that's the ******* issue here.. not "it's Mexican or China" or anything else.. it's not a racial thing... its called...'you ******* changed it and now it's not the same as it was'..and it didn't get better....

My wife is Hispanic and agrees with me, she also says she'll never go to Mexico.
One country wants to destroy us.. the other wants to suck us dry and reclaim territory.
...and both we economically support.:rolleyes:


All of you who dislike my opinion can suck a rock. I don't care if you don't like my experience based opinion. It's my **** and I'll use what I want:icon_fU:. Over n out.
