Default is it worth the money for tfs

currently i have a stock shortblock fresh rebuilt with gt40 iron heads gasket matched they have 1.7rr and i have an e303 cam with the tfs street intake my question is
to put the twisted wedge heads i will have to buy the heads, new roller rockers, pushrods and the total will be about 1600 bucks in ur opinion is it worth that much for the difference between the two heads? how much hp difference should i just keep what i have and put my money elsewhere? and i would like to see if any of you have dyno or track numbers with the trick flow heads

you'll pick up some more power but it may not be seat of the pants feel the benifit is they will support more power potential than the gt-40's

If it were mine I might put a matched trickflow intake and stage 1 cam in it and dyno tune and you can probably come close to 300 rwhp

you mean keep my gt40's and keep the trick flow street intake, swap the e303 to the tfs stage 1 and dyno tune and you think i will hit close to 300?

no I'd keep the tfs intake, swap the cam and put tfs heads on and a dyno tune for possible close to 300 rwhp

As you are now you are prob.making 225rwhp. However, I'm assuming you don't have the Gt-40's on. I like my Twistd Wedge Heads on my car. I would deff. get the TWH. Plus you can sell the GT-40's you already have. Through an automatic and with TrickFlow Twisted Wedges, a TrickFlow Stg-1 cam, a GT-40 intake, and other bolt-ons, I made 271rwhp and 311rwtq. I ran a best quarter of 13.1(in sig), but consistently ran 13.2 at 105.

i like my twisted wedges and they have far more potential than the gt40's not that the gt40s are bad u can just make more power with the tw's.
