A set of those Bloomer heads that Vic fixed( and are now available), made an appearance at Drag week( and successfully finished)
3175 pound green 74 Duster.
Its a 416, dont know much else about it, but it averaged 10.20’s and went as fast as 132 mph during the event.
Not to shabby! On true pump gas!

I remember those.
They had some issue.
Hit a brick wall on the dyno with Ironmikes motor. Like the big mouths.

they are fixed now. Vic worked on them, picked away a long time to get them to make power. Too bad he wasnt involved from the beginning.
If i get rid of my eddies, i will get a set of these
Anything he touches makes power.

Thanks Don, do you know if these were the 200 cc version or the off set version ?

I wonder if the fuel was swailing , like a stream where the strongest velocity/fos was. There was not much ssr and floor leading to it I remember.

they are the non offset 200’s. Yes.
Vic has now turned his attention to the offset head, but it will again be a while. He is ultra busy. Picks away a little, puts them on his bench to flow, gets back to them when he can….slow process.
I already have good rocker gear, so would be happy with the standard head, wouldnt wait who knows how long for Vic to get done with the offsets.
We will see, I think my eddie heads would sell pretty easy, just had them completely gone through this past spring, new 2.05 intake valves, valve job, etc, etc.
i corrected what i posted above. The non offset head is 200, not 195.
I should also add, getting castings for anything isn't easy. The availability of the offset head could be affected by that. So if i do anything, it will be the head that is now available. I think it will prove to make more power than either the trick flows or the airwolf heads.
From what i understand, even that car that went 132 at drag week has some considerable teething issues( new combo) and its far from what its capable of running once it gets sorted out….it hasn't even run yet the way it is in good air yet

There is a guy on Mopar Engines Group on FB that shows a flow chart for a set of TF 190 heads he touched up that achieve 330cfm @.600". I've no idea if he is legit but that seems pretty impressive for a 2.02 valve with standard rocker placement. Never heard of him before I saw the stuff on FB
This is what a good W5 head will do.

Hopefully minus the leaking?

Not sure who the guy is, but i have a hard time believing a figure even close to anything like that.

I'd believe those numbers coming from Larry.

larry has a great reputation, 330 with a 2.02 valve and that head still seems overly ambitious though.
My W5 heads, that later went 140 mph at 3220 pounds didnt break 300 on one bench, and another set ported by another guy didnt go 300 on a different bench either. Big swings obviously bench to bench
Would love to see that “330” head go down a track.
Larry is known and used by a lot of people. That being said I’ve never seen or read about any of his work being rechecked on other benches. I would love to see 330cfm out of a TrickFlow head with a 2.02 valve on a bench that I know has been calibrated. 10 or 15 cfm here or there can drum you up a lot of business

Looks like he took the wing / ramp out of the intake port. Would be interesting to see an A B dyno test of these heads.
Man that is one hell of a jump between.500-.600 valve lift.

i don't get on facebook so I can't look, does Larry have any posts that say what a well known head does on his bench ootb.
like an LA eddy head ootb, or even any of the TF heads ootb. could atleast use that to get an idea what his bench measures compared to others..

Most of these guys don’t or won’t post before and after numbers. Larry must use a flip-phone from the 1980’s to take pictures. They are always cloudy, who knows maybe it’s on purpose. Gotta keep those secrets secret. Lol
Here’s Larry’s bio
Many folks do that so it keeps the members wondering !!!
How about this one. If someone would flow an Edelbrock head that flowed 243cfm on a calibrated flowbench and it flowed 260cfm on their bench would you take your heads to a guy that says your heads flow 315cfm or the one that says your heads flow 330. Both heads picked up the same amount of cfm but one sure looks a lot better. Hmmmm.

well, based on Larry's Bio I would take my heads to him!
As always…. Yes.
500-600 = 30 cfm
400-500 = 36cfm
300-400 = 65cfm
**** be jumpin!!!!
This is like when I had my heads max wedge ported. On the porters bench mine started where most others topped out at. Then mine were 60 cfm or so better. Well we know that no one else ever got these big numbers. They sure looked mighty good. The percentage was 15% better from where he started. That’s about right for the port. That’s why u can’t race flow benches. Not many benches would read the same. Kim
