Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the advertised numbers are at the crank - not wheels.

Trickflows are one of the best heads on the market. The package from summit is quite a good deal.

Our kits are true flywheel numbers based off of a 10.5:1 LS1 using an LS6 intake.

Not to thread hijack, but how streetable is your H/C package with a FAST 90/90? Idle ok?
Thanks.

I have and ECS Custom Cam and Trick Flow Head Package one on my 99 Corvette FRC and LOVE IT!!!

They make high 400s to just over 500 on the dyno depending on the car and several of these packages have run in the 10.90s

Here's their kit:


There is video of a car and the street manners on this page.

Third car on this page is running in the 10s and making 504 RWHP

There is also a Pace Car on the Corvette Forums that is doing very well at ETown this year, runs 11.5 brackets usually but has run in the 10s.

Mine is awesome. Idles at about 900, nice lopey sound. When I'm trying to cruise through a parking lot in second slow it will buck a bit but keep it in first and you're fine. I do have a very aggressive ECS custom cam.


Here it is at idle:

i have a 00 c5 lingenfelter 383 built by lpe in august 00. the car makes 430 rwhp and 435 tq. over the past 8 yrs alot of new things have come to mkt. and after several months of going back and forth trying to decide which way to go i finally pulled the trigger and called vengenance racing.
i ordered the tfs 215 milled to 64cc, yella terra rockers, their vrx5 cam , ported fast 92 , ported ls2, kooks 1 3/4 with 3 inch catted x...and a few other things.
my heads arrived yesterday direct from TEA, they are a work of art..as for flow numbers here they are:
.100 68.4 53.1
.200 139.2 116.1
.300 219.2 183.0
.400 272.7 229.5
.500 306.8 252.8
.550 314.6 258.8
.600 321.8 263.4

i looked at the tfs package but decided i wanted a bit more cam than what they offered in their summit catalog package. keep in mind i have a 383 so i can step up a bit and not be affected like a 346 with rough idle/high idle and surging conditions...as for rwhp when completed by the vette dr.'s should be a tad over 500 with tq around 480...
i looked at every head/cam package from LG, cartek, LPE, and the list goes on....bottom line TFS is making a terrific head at a competive price and as for consistancy of flow numbers compare what my heads did vs what is in their add....nuff said.
