Not from edelbrock. They get the bang from your buck and you get a mild return

Re: Performance moter kit?

Don't need to spend that much on heads for that power either which makes them useless. They are somewhat better than vortec heads which is what they are. Get some vortecs a 274 roller cam and a air gap intake coupled with a good short block and your BAM at 450 hp and for way cheaper then edelbrock

This is a good read:

http://www.tbichips.com/truckmods.htm

Lots of good information there, and most of it is applicable to more than just TBI's
