Default Anyone using Trick Flow heads

As it says...I'm thinking of going with these heads on a 370 iron block, stock LS6 intake and T70 on about 14-16#. The heads can be worked to get a 70cc chamber, needed to get my compression down. Any comments/advise?

I have them on my Orange car they are great heads I have AFR's on the black car for FI they are pretty evenly matched NA the Trick Flows have a slight advantage from what I have seen although not a ton. I Like them just buy a good LIGHT set of Roller rockers for them and you will be very pleased.

The shop that did my turbo setup just put a set on a twin turbo car. they seem to work well and made power sooner than it did with the ls6's.

That's because they have better mid-lift flow than most heads. We have a set for our DR car debuting next spring and were expecting good results for a reasonably priced head.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I've been really busy with my trucks this week and not been able to get online til now. The A/C went down in all 3 of em. $3000 later and got em fixed. THAT cut into the build money all right!! Ron; I'll call you about the heads. The short block is being built by Weber and Leo says he can "help" me out if I get the complete long block through him, heads included of course.
