Quote: for all intensive purposes we all get aggrevated when we reach a performance level and hit the wall for lack of available parts.the new trick flow heads appear to have great quality and potential for those who use them.all the better.its very hard to understand why the mopar block situation has reached this level at all considering that block castings have been around since horses were delivering milk and nobody except kb can get it right in 2014.i dont think anybody here was or is bashing new parts,just the lack of higher level performance parts.i for one hope that these new parts are like chinese resturaunts,when one pops up,in 30 days there will be 75 more.the ultimate goal for everyone is to go faster....
Exactly....
There isn't an individual in this thread that responded negatively to any of my posts that can point to a single "bash" of the Trick Flow head on the merits of the head on my part, as their subsequent posts prove.
Hence, my questioning of their blatant lack of comprehension. Obviously, it's easier to respond to your own musings than to those of someone you take issue with.
I drive around town in a 2550# backhalf Dart with a 900hp N/A small block that's as nice as ANY Dart on this forum and a 1620hp screw blown HEMI in a composite round tube Cuda', that's as nice as ANY Cuda' on this forum. I'm not sitting around playing with myself (well.....maybe sometimes). I buy parts.....and cannot believe there hasn't been a SINGLE modern upgrade after the long in the tooth straight head W8, PSO, or the Millennium HEMI.
Chevy is at a 60 handicap against Ford in the bore space department, yet that has not stopped the performance aftermarket from developing countless heads able to reach any desired power level attainable with current technology. We are "only" 40 less than Chevy compared to Chevy being 60 less than Ford and in some cases our aluminum blocks CAN be ordered in 4.840. Of course for economic reasons nobody in their right mind would expect a flow of hardware Ford and Chevy enjoy.......but to not have a SINGLE option better than the outdated W8, PSO, or Millennium HEMI (which is far less affected by bore space with it's opposed valves), unless ones decides to build a Pro Stock big, or small block and has ZERO options when it comes to a modern CG, or iron block casting, is absolutely insane.....in my opinion.
Especially when you consider the Pontiac engine is saddled with laughable factory bore spacing, EXCEPT when machined in specialized fashion, yet they have access to iron blocks and aluminum heads that are more current than MOPAR offerings.
No offense to Trick Flow for making a sound business decision for the company, but as time goes on and the parts situation becomes WORSE instead of better, it's aggravating. This is MOPAR for Christ sake. A company with a championship heritage in motorsports......not Tucker.
