Default Trickflow's

At last they have arrived ( Even though I only ordered them last Tuesday lol )...no thanks to Fedex the *******, who normally I would praise. But anyway.

Thanks to Ron at Vengeance Racing for getting these Trickflow 225cc heads sorted for me. Unfortuantely Im awaiting some new pistons due to my sillyness.

At last some springs that might work. The springs on my Edelbrock were opening at around 100lbs when I measured them last ( before DIY shimming )
With the same tool, same method, these are closer to 150lbs....















Also needed different rockers ( well, non-stock rockers ) so it was a good time to dump my old YT's, in favour of some new ones.
There really is a huge difference between the two !!!



The Jesel 1.75's look as if they will fit a lot better on these heads, than the Edelbrocks I was using. So I could also consider that option, which along with a new cam, should see lift well into the 600's if I so decide. Probably isnt necessary though.



Its always nice to get new bits....

Now it's EPP's turn to send me some rings and their FI cam
