Trick Flow small block heads

@Hot Metal Yea, sometimes people are happy swimming in the shallow end. It’s all good.

It’s not he lift that is rough on people but the duration that’s out of there comfort zone. Most also think there’s no room.

Good heads like the TF and a sub .550 lift is a waste of time IMO but some guys like it. Why? I do t know. Why would you not take advantage of the flow the head offers? They could have saved money IMO with a lesser head and a low lift cam and it would still perform great.

The wife’s TF headed 360 runs high grade pump fuel @ 11.6-1 with a Hyd roller lifting the valve north of .575 on a short duration cam. Drives like butter and runs really good up top. She’ll be in it 5 days a week driving it to work and around town.

i have talked to Dwayne ( PRH) many times over the years and one thing he hammers on a lot is more lift isn't a big deal.
He said almost never does going from a 1.5 to 1.6 rocker to gain more lift make any more power, or ET at the track.
I am keeping my 565 gross lift camshaft to put in my 418 that was in my 360. Eddie heads. Its far from an all out combo but i bet it will run good.
I could have bought another cam, 1.6 rockers, etc, but didnt.
The old stock shortblock 360 ran as good with near stock eddie heads as this 530 horse trick flow motor did everybody is talking about with a roller cam and trickflow heads. My heads went 255...lol
