You'll have to let us know how your heads turn out mark. I'm interested in the results. There have been 3 people here recently that have been saying they were buying the heads and no actual results yet.

sounds like the biggest problem with the heads is that they cant meet the demand for them. March 4th thats crazy i pace around my house when i got to wait a week for my parts to come in i cant even guess what you r going thru lol. let us know when you got it all together and what kind of power you get from them.

Nobody has them in stock, TFS is rejecting as many castings as they are receiving at the moment from their supplier. The waiting list is a couple months at the moment.

i cant keep them in stock...7 pairs on back order on my end...sucks

more where done this week, but all spoken for...


but 25-30 hour's is retarded. with with that mod list, i still only charge 15!

it take's 2 hours(if that) to pull the motor and trans out the bottom with the k member. it only pays 11 book time for a head swap!

dude , you are getting raped!

That is a very long time for a large company as Trick Flow to make 16 heads....

My set up is very complex. There is 25 to 30 hours labor involved in a head swap. At $80 per hour, that is good money. Should there be issues, it will be one royally expensive pain in the ***. This is why I am checking around. I can easily change order to a Patriot head. I was going with the Twisted Tricks so I can run a higher lift cam. My YSI will love the extra air/fuel.
WTF!?!?!?!? YOUR GOING TO PAY $2000 FOR HEAD SWAP!!! **** THAT! Here the mechanic I go to charges only $500 and that with springs and cams installed...
