What people seem to forget when comparing their ported Edelbrock or EQ (gone) heads to the TF, is that you had to send them somewhere to be modified, probably paid $100 shipping both ways and a pile of money to have the work done. That is if you could find a reliable porter that could fit you in this year. You probably still ended up investing close to or much more than the ~$2200 a set TF heads cost. The benefit or unique thing with the T190F is that you can pick up the phone or your computer and in about a week have a set of heads on your doorstep that can hit 300 cfm if your cam can get there. That is not a bad thing, and it is great to see a company supporting Mopar products.

That pretty much describes my situation. I’ve got the original EQ’s, with stock length and size valves w/lift limit of .540” springs etc. No actual real porting, only bowl, seat cleanup and guide boss reduction/teardrop shaping, gasket matched. To go with a much bigger lift cam I would have to buy new valves, springs etc, send out for professional port work and the valve job. Adding it all up I’d be better off getting the TF’s, cleaning up the EQ’s and selling them along with the rockers etc to recover some of the investment. Oh, and I’m also losing about 50 more lbs on the front of my vehicle so that’s what I did :thumbsup:
 
About 10 years ago I had an EQ head here to flow.....
I used a 1.92” SI stainless intake valve with a back cut. The exhaust was tested with an OE magnum valve.
The head itself is ootb:

4.00” bore, 28” test pressure-
Lift—— I/E
.100— 66/50
.200—137/96
.300—194/137
.400—219/163
.450—224/168
.500—227/171
.550—234/173
.600—236/173
 
Guy i know is running those EQ heads on a stock stroke 360
They are just checked and cleaned up, not ported. Motor is high compression(13+)
3550 pound Coronet wagon. Has been 10.70. He said the heads peak at about 240 ish
 
Well I have been wanting to make a post like this for awhile. But looks like gregsdart beat me to it. So sorry for high jacking the post. Lol any way I have been thinking about building a high compression, soild roller cam out if my spare 2000 360 magnum blocks. I have been looking at the huges engines 426 stroker kit.
I am shooting for 13-14.1 compression i will be running E85 fuel. The cam will be a solid roller but haven't decided what size yet. The only thing that can't change right now is heads. I have a set of the trickflow heads. The engine will be going in my 91/96 dodge dakota race truck, that i am guess weighes around 3400 with me in it. I have never built a engine like this before and don't know if it's even possible. But I would like to get my dakota to run low tens in the 1/4.

If the truck does weight 3400 then a 10.30 will take about 560 HP and that’s assuming a well tuned chassis.
 
Low 10’s@3400??

Better shoot for about 650 on the dyno.

Of course how low is a “low 10” will be a big factor.

A 10.44 and a 10.04 are about 65hp apart.

They’re still being used, and plans to swap things keeps getting pushed back, right now not exactly sure what I’ll be wanting, but when the time comes I know I’ll be wanting to sell them with the rockers etc first as a ready to bolt on package, then consider breaking things up
