maybe its like a 3v engine dyno? lol.

i've always been a fan of trickflow, if this is supposed to be a 2v car, its a joke, plain and simple, we're not a bunch of 16 year olds who picked up their first mustang... well most of us aren't anyway.

this is not a good start for trying to push these heads. But alot of people have had some unrealistic expectations, they said 240 cfm... thats what youve got there. Thats only like 5 more cfm then some ported PI's... what did you expect? The question is how much can these pick up with porting, which trickflow already knows, but isn't telling... more reason not to hold your breath

me personally, i think i am going to pass on these...... alot cheaper to go with the others that are already out and flow just a hair less air. I dont think they will be worth the $2000 price tag they are attached to... just my .02

id be more impressed if they werent ~$3000 and flowed like mild ported single port v6 heads

if i were to build a H/c 2V id probably stick with patriot.

Im interested in hearing more about them and an explanation of the dyno sheet, but the idea of a 5.4L block and the new trickflow heads doesnt seem as badass anymore.

So, they pretty much make no more hp than a set of patriot ported heads and cost twice as much.

I have a few crass comments about Trick Flow heads and their misleading dyno sheets but I already received my limit of infractions this year,.

Great company for almost every other engine part. I just canceled my Trick flow valve covers as well. 3 week wait time and they are painted (which I didn't know). Not for this guy!

Team Breed FTW.
