Default Looking for feedback on the TFS 220 as cast heads

I'm looking at getting a set of these heads and would like some feedback from people who are currently running them. I've heard good things about them and the price is nice, but I want to make sure there isn't any other heads out there that I'm overlooking. I've got long tubes, full exhaust, lid and plan on doing a fairly aggressive cam when I get the heads on. My goal is to have some nice low end torque and would like to make around 450 rwhp. My car is a 2002 WS6, 6 speed. Thanks for the help guys.

I also have those heads and the same VRX5 cam my numbers on in my SIG on a mustang dyno. But I broke a valve spring the last week in May and my car has been down since!

Some how Trickflow/ TEA must see me as a real idiot. I have had to send them my heads 2x cause they have made some really bad mistakes on their end like they have young 9 dollar an hour teens working there. Good head its just that their employees have treated my heads like crap when they have been there and return them worse than I shipped them out in. So if you do go with them check them out as soon as you get them.

UNERTL42 you should have your springs checked every 5k miles or so. Trust me I broke a "upgraded" spring.

One of the TEA/TF springs broke? Maybe a bad batch I hope. I have the 220 heads but car has been down so Im waiting to see how well they are. I will be running a EPS cam 226/234 cam.
