been talking to trevor at texas speed said they have 3/4'' thick deck flow well for as cast head can use factory rockers, come with 6 bolt provisions.. i mean for the money they flow close to heads from TFS and far i think i am going to get them see how well they hold boost (20lbs or so)

i'm going to run the PRC 237 heads on my 408. They have thick deck.

I read on tech that some guy ran them up to 15psi on his turbo setup and they worked great.

PRC As Cast 225s come with stainless valves, and you can option them with either our PRC .650 dual, or PRC .675 dual spring kits. Both kits come with titanium retainers standard. Feel free to give us a call with any other questions or concerns.

I think I am going with these for my 383, I was eyeing the TFS 220s pretty hard but with all the work to get factory rockers situated these seem like the better option. Although it would be pretty cool to pop the hood and see a set of Trick Flows looking at ya.

We typically stock the 225 in pm, but can do bronze if a customer wanted them! The valves we use in the PRC cathedral castings are Manley intakes & Ferrea exhaust.

I would rather have the Powdered metal guides, these have the stock 15 degree valve angle correct?
