Small block TrickFlow heads part 1

Yes they are that good OOTB. The set I have are up and running on my 410 stroker. Lash settings remain stable, I’ve got ample oil being delivered to both rocker assemblies, no head related issues or shortcomings seen to date. Pulling them out of the box and looking over the beautiful quality CNC work done there was no way in hell after paying next to $2000 for said quality that I was taking a grinder to them! Not that I’d know where to begin or have a way of verifying anything in the first place, or need the possible extra gains. And I sure as hell wasn’t going to fork out wads of cash to have someone trial and error things searching for more. I know I’m not in the minority regarding who’s buying these heads.
In general, There’s the street, street/strip guys and then the racers, hardcore racers. This is hardcore racer level stuff. BUT of interest to either nonetheless.
TF really needs to release a set of bare non-CNC heads for the many that are at this “level” of engine performance and competitiveness. But being this is all there is you work with what ya got. Interested in findings and results here as well.
Living vicariously in my case! :)

I’ll disagree on the part where you say this is a hardcore racer level stuff. This head was developed for the street, street strip guys. I started talking to the TrickFlow guys before the 240 big block head was released and after telling one guy at their display tent that we need a good flowing small block Mopar head asked if his buddy’s could join us. The five of us bs’ed for well over an hour as he agreed about the small block head. Meanwhile the big block head was already secretly being developed (240cc) . I was told about the 270 head before it came out but again secretly wouldn’t tell me anything about it. Then word of this head came out but it was like I said aimed for the guys getting Edelbrock heads and porting them. A race head is supposed to be in the works but then casting issues and coronavirus hit us. What pisses me off is The guys at Harland Sharp are trying to talk them into a non offset rocker. Piss on that!!!! Give us racers a “race head” with an offset rocker and 240cc port minimum. Hopefully more minus the leaks that the 245cc Indy head is known for.
