Is anybody running the Trick Flow GenX top-end kit? Trick Flow claims 515hp/460tq (assuming crank) and they only want $3,100 for the kit (heads, cam, pushrods, harland sharp roller rocker arms, GM Performance gaskets, and bolts!)

The cam specs are 228/230 @.050" and .585/.585" lift. i'm not sure if the rockers are 1.7 or 1.8 ratio. Originally i wanted to run the LG Motorsports G5X3 grind, but im really curious now about this kit. i want a nasty sounding cam with a ton of power, yet still streetable with a 6speed. Any Suggestions? Maybe a different cam suggestion?

Not sure about that particular setup but I have always heard good stuff about Trick Flow and the numbers that their products produce.:cheers:

I have read a lot of positive stuff in the car magazines about Trick Flow set ups.

I have the TFS 215 heads milled down to 61cc and I believe that is the cam I have if it's a 228/230/112. I went wit Yella Terra 1.7 rockers. I ended up at 444rwhp and 414tq. :burnout:

:drool5: how's the cam sound? from what i know about the specs, i would think it probably has a pretty nice, lopey idle.

Sounds great to me and what was more important was the powerband. No waiting till 4000rpms like alot of the bigger cams. You can tell the car has a cam, but doesn't shake the car. I had GHL exhaust and went back to TI's, now I want the GHL's again. You could definitely hear the cam alot better with the aftermarket exhaust. Best of all, it drives like stock and no stalling.:banana:

I would stick with the Trick Flows and just get them to put the lift over 600 and then you will have your combo!!!!!

The cam actually has a very nice sound to it. If you search on Youtube I have come across some vids of cars with that cam in that you can listen to. It is a very streetable set up with a 6 speed!!
