Trick Flow 44cc Heads vs 4v Heads
Ultimately what would you do? I hear 4v B Heads will outflow Trick Flow 2v heads will out of the box. Ultimately, I would obviously need more then just the heads. Intake, timing cover, accessories, ecm, etc. But Trick Flow 2v heads are 2k$ and I can't imagine buying 96-98 cobra components would be more expensive than that. Anyway, I would like to hear an argument for each. Ultimately, I will be putting these heads on a forged shortblock so I will basically be building the engine outside of the car then dropping it in.

depends just how far your taking the hp/boost levels IMO...if your wanting 8-900 then 4v all the way ( get C heads) but anything under that id probably just stick with the trick flows. Although you could probably do a whole 4v setup for what just the tf heads cost lol

Trickflows without a doubt. A lot less work to do. You don't have to do a harness swap and rewire the COPs and a lot less to worry about. Plus if you buy used heads, I'd have them rebuild and that costs a lot. So I'd just go with out of the box tf heads. Plus blower cams will be half the price!

Well if I were buying used heads, I would be having them rebuilt for use on a built motor. then I would also want to be running a set of aftermarket cams and higher pressure valvesprings and oversized valves. So price out a rebuild with the proper valvesprings and valves and good valve guides and I'd just buy a set of TFS heads out of the box with all the good features that they have. Oh, and I'd also look at Nick's stage 3 PI heads. over 100% load in the mid rpm range.

B heads outflow C heads... and 03/04 Cobra heads are C heads. Although 03/04 Cobra C heads do outflow B heads, but only marginally so. Not sure it would be worth the extra 700-800$ for a very minor difference in flow numbers.
