Default Trickflow heads prove themselves once again

Just wanted the vette guys/gals to see how well the Trickflow heads work on our cars. The price for the quality and performance you get out of the box is hard to beat.
I posted a thread in the dyno section. Maybe someone can post the link for me in this thread.

Hi robz*,

Great achivements on average power and racing powerband in your LS6 stock shortblock, this engine will certainly be difficult to drive in traffic, but it was built with drag racing in mind

To reach this power level anyone will need a lot more than just heads, but a very well balanced combo from intake to exhaust through well designed drivetrain with specifications dedicated to the drag strip...
Can this power level be achieved with stock 243 heads or other aftermarket heads brands?
I guess yes.

The guys at the local speed shop that I go to swear by these heads. From what I have seen they are really good. Too bad I don't have that kinda money.
