Default What happened to TFS LS3 heads?
So what ever happened to Trick Flow Specialties LS3 heads they were previewing here on LS1tech a while back?

Me too! I actually had my hands on one at SEMA last year! Said they'd be out in March of 11.

They probably aren't as good as the Mast heads and they want to make sure they release a product that will compete. So they will refine them and then release it. My guess anyway.

I just e-mailed Trickflow so we will see if they respond. I told them about this thread.

Give them a break guys, it takes a lot of time to engineer & test a cylinder head before throwing it to market. This isn't like building a header & seeing if it fits. There's a lot of testing & design that goes into a cylinder head.

We just finished the PRC LS3 heads & are starting to ship. I didn't think it would take this long to finish either, so I completely understand that it takes time.

Are you refering to the LS7 smallbore heads? The PRC aftermarket 250cc LS3 heads(another thread) look interesting too.

I made the mistake of camming my 403 for those heads since I was told I'd be able to buy them in March of 11. Hope they get em out by next season.

They had both an LS3 and LS7 style head that they were working on. There was a whole thread with some of the information in it.
