does these heads has max wedge ports My understanding from the guy I spoke to at the summit nationals that a max wedge port is the next step and about a year or less out for production.

I understand that.........but there has to be a REASON that no company CHOOSES to do it. What do you think is the reason they don't?
- thats the million dollar question, I think its fairly clear why those who have been or is still currently marketing the high end stuff didn't prevail. -
As far as the "frivolous" comment. So is it your opinion that someone who wants to build enough power to go faster than 9s in an average weight car is frivolous - No. Paying far more than fair market value -

does these heads has max wedge ports They will if and when I buy a set. Opens up your intake selection choices. Thinking an Indy intake would work out pretty nice on a well built combo.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

A MW port with a Mopar 337 intake would probably be a nice combination.

If they came out w/a max wedge head then that would be something special cos as stated, there`s a few good "economy" decent standard port heads already.......

That head at 2800 pounds has 8 second NA pass capabilities.
That is true and I don't thik it would be difficult (or expensive) to build a 750+ hp engine with these heads. A 440 block with a 4.25 crank and flat top pistons should get you there. Use a race cam with .700 lift (limit of the stock valve springs) and a Super Victor intake with a Dominator carb and the engine should make 750. With a valve spring swap the heads should go to .800 lift so with a small investment in valve springs a guy could pick up some more power and drop futher into the 8's. I've never seen a 8 second door slammer Mopar at the local track so I'm thinking these heads cover the vast majority of the market. (Edit - with the flow numbers that Dwayne posted perhaps these heads are more of a 700 hp deal than 750. Guess we'll know once a few of them get on the dyno.)

This is no doubt a entertaining conversation! If the heads are as advertised, anyone that doesn't think they are different from what is already offered is BLIND! Trick Flow knows it or they would not have made them. They know the market is there, and there right. I'm a mopar guy, always have been and always will be. I don't need a 1,000 Hp engine, I'm a bracket racer. Duster weighs 2400 lbs and has ran 10.0x with stock 452's, shifting @ 5,600. The engine blew and honestly if it weren't for trick flows new head I'd rebuild the 452's. No one else offers enough bang for the buck. The mopar parts on my car are more expensive than chevy parts, I knew it and paid any way. I'd do it again, I still believe it was cheaper in the long run.
Would I like to have a low 9 or 8 sec. motor, you bet. But not if I have to pay 50% more.
I'm looking forward to the potential these heads should offer!
