"If someone has had better results with other heads cast like these, PLEASE let me know".

Pretty much what I thought..... CRICKETS.....

Thanks,
Rod

CRICKETS........... is all you will get.
it's tough to argue track results like you have provided. the naysayers would rather have a trickflow head that runs mid 10's and claim they are the best head around.

Well if an all steel body, all cast iron motor with a stock pushrod location, stock valve sized set of cast iron J's through exhaust manifolds, 2k stall converter, and a 6.5" Street tire can go 10.1@132 I'd hope you could into the 9's without trying too hard..

I'm not bashing Trickflow heads, I think they have their place. Also, I am not trying to undermine they're place in the SBM market. What I don't understand is, they claim the head flows 300 cfm and people eat it up without real results then, want to say "it was never marketed as a race head" ***** please...... if a fully cnc'd head with a standard pushrod location says it flows over 300 cfm, you don't consider that racey? It's not 100% their fault for showing the information they have and I can understand that to some degree but, what they're doing is all about their bottom line. THAT IS NOT ME! If you contact me and tell me and your goals are to run 10.70's - 11.00's with a 3000 lbs. car, I will flat out tell you not to spend money with me (as many of you know). I'm not the guy that is just gonna sell you heads because I can make money.This is the main reason, I will never have dealers! What I want, is for people to get the performance they were expecting. We all work for what we have, don't waste your hard earned dollars on **** that won't put up the number! At the end of the day, the only numbers that matter are the ones on the boards.



Thanks,

This is another test engine that I built to prove our VR-200 cylinder heads. It is a 416” (stock block) with bushed lifter bores and billet (center three) main caps using our VR-200 cylinder heads on pump gas, in a real streetcar. I personally built this engine to put on the dyno and install in a car for REAL WORLD results. This engine made pulls on the dyno as well as tested in a 100% pump gas (92/93 octane) car. The test vehicle was a 1968 barracuda street/strip combo with a flat hood and weighs in at 3315lbs (with driver) running through exhaust. It utilizes a 904 trans and 4.10 gear on a 275/ 60 tire. I believe this car has the potential to go 9.70’s with a hood scoop and a slight converter change. Just another testament to our VR-200 heads.

Thank you,
Rod

Could you tell me the;
Camshaft specs, converter stall/flash rpm leaving the line?

Thanks Rod

i agree 100% with you. finally someone has said it instead of me.
i'm not bashing TF, i'm just tired of all hype over them with zero results. and so far i haven't seen any TF headed engine produce good #'s at the track. your heads have shown excellent ET and MPH and that makes them a proven head.
