Ill tell you what nick told us and what i told them on mod fords...everyone keeps getting hung up on flow numbers. You can haul out the ports on a head and make them flow crazy amounts of air...but then run really crappy times and make crappy power. Its not all about the flow, its about the design.

I don't know nearly enough about the 4v head options out there in terms of flow and performance to really be opinionated on the topic. I did think most of the posts in the thread did make sense.
Biggest thing is that they have to be competitively priced to sell.

Yea, I mean Ford GT(FGT) heads are healthy heads and flow very well. When ported, Fox Lake claims 350cfm intake and like 300cfm exhaust or something like that. I too think its a waste for them to try, but its their money, not mine so let them have at it! It will still be cool to see.

And thats not going to happen, this would be in the $3000+ range for a pair and if you have to buy GT adjusters and rockers add another $1200+ to that price. Then a set of 4V cams are $1200+, then the 4V secondary tensioners are $200+. So now we have nearly $6000 into a set of heads only.........

I would buy the first set of TFS 3V heads for my own ride if they incorporated everything I stated. Then we can talk 350-375RWHP NA on a streetable car with an engine no heavier than a 2V with the plastic intake.
