I was happy to see a new product come out for any Mopar engine. Heads, blocks and anything is nice to see. It means that the Mopar market is growing and that gives us all more options.
Maybe TF will come out with a B-engine EFI manifold for the 451-496 guys, that market has been totally ignored. I probably wouldn't buy one, but other guys would be glad to get them, and I'd be glad they were out there if I was ever needing one.

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....
SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

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.

Perfectly.....
What's your point.......that unless I gushed over a yet another head that overlaps existing offerings performance wise, commenting is off limits somehow???

YOUR Comprehension continues to be way off.....you are going off on a tangent again.
Go polish your show cars, might relieve some of your pent up hostilities

Unlike every single mopar head out there, these heads are a TRUE bolt on!
And they actually flow as advertised...and they have upgraded hardware.
This is the first of 3 heads they will offer...
Take note what they flow, the quality castings, machine work and parts, then compare them with Eddy or whoever's heads. You'll quickly see they are priced damn good!
Hey, Brian. I was wondering what makes the Trick Flows more of a bolt-on than the RPM, Stealth, Sidewinder, et al heads that are flooding the market? I like the better combustion chambers, but I'm not quite ready to yank my IMM massaged RPMs off for a set of Quick Flows- just yet anyway.
I'll not complain about competition or question the T.F. marketing strategy. I'm sure they have a marketing team that knows more than I about selling heads. It makes sense to me to start selling heads that have a market of 1000s as opposed to a PSO/Predator killer with a market of 10s. Especially with the other limitations of the B/RB wedge noted by persons that know far more about that than I do.

you do have a pretty nice "show" car Jim. Love that small block Dart.
Thanks....
I almost considered taking it to a car show once.
And again.....I have no desire, nor was it my intention to demean Trick flow, or their new product. Just venting on the state of the MOPAR aftermarket.......or lack thereof. In hindsight, I probably should have done it in a dedicated thread.
As for anyone who was offended.......oh well.

Able to run 3/8 pushrods with no clearancing, no touch up valve job, no touch up guide honing needed, much higher quality spring/retainer/lock combo, higher quality valves, no porting necessary....all of the fore mentioned heads need some work to be right...requiring more money and time wasted.

It's good to see more quality options for these obsolete motors.
