Trickflow 225 head install
Looks good man. What water pump are you running? Did you have any clearance between the W/P and T/B?
I noticed you are using stock rockers. Did TEA put the powdered metal guides in?
Looking good.

Those TFS heads look great I'm looking at either just putting a cam in my 6.0 or maybe working the 317 heads a bit, how much were your 317's milled?
In for the results, good luck

Yeah.. Was alittle disappointed but the car made 468/440.. With HEAVY tires on it, tuner said with my 15inch hoosiers it would have made 15-20 hp more because of rotating mass AND my camshaft is alittle too small, cam quits pulling about 6100 so ill be swapping cams in a few months. Car feels like a different animal because it picked up 15-30 ft lbs of torque through the whole rpm range and 10-20 hp through the whole rpm range. Overall im happy because Im now getting to drive it AND im having fun destroying my new toyo proxes

We those the same "HEAVY tires" that were on the car when it dyno'd 463/434 with the 317's?
With those new dyno numbers, it doesn't seem to make the use of the 102/102 and the 225's. I guess it's cam shopping for you.

Toyos ... 31# vs. Nittos .... 25# vs. Hoosiers .... 19-24# depending on size & type. I could be way wrong, but I don't see a big difference in rwhp just from a tire being 6 or 7#lighter. Maybe if you add to that the difference between a heavy chrome street wheel and an ultra light race wheel x2 there might be a measurable difference, then we could be talking about 50# total.
