Trick Flow LS1 head pictures inside
I am going to keep my existing 230/230 cam. The pushrods for these heads are 7.7 instead of the stock 7.4.
TEA told me that I will gain around .050 PTV clearance over my existing TEA 5.3 heads.

Good question. I will ask Brian or Mike the next time I talk to them.

With this setup the car has gone high 10.90s in -1000ft DA air. In the heat it runs 11.20 to 11.30.
As of yesterday the TEA heads were off the car. I still have to clean the block before I can install the new Trick Flow heads.
The only change to the setup will be the addition of the Trick Flow heads.

Beast your correct. TEA/Trickflow are together now and Summit is in the deal somewhere as well.
TEA ports the heads for trickflow.
It is a new port design then what they have ever used before so this isn't just a good LS6 port thrown into a trick flow casting.
The heads are also a 13.5 degree head and will allow better then stock piston to valve clearence.
These are going to be some very nice high quality heads that should compete with AFR/ETP.

I wouldn't call it proper exhaust flow but only because of the pipe they use. I personially feel that a proper pipe would be about 30" long about 1 3/4-1 7/8 and have some clean 90% bends in the pipe so it acts like a header.
Most companies use a 10" or maybe a little longer straight pipe that is 2" or bigger.
That to me gives a false number.
I will agree however that a pipe be used

I believe TEA will have some different options soon as though I am not sure what is available right now.
I have heard plans of a larger runner and different cumbustion chamber sizes so they can compete with all the different heads ETP offers.
Whenever I hear anything new I will post it up.

I finished the install last night. The car started and ran well but it is still sitting on the jack stands. I still need to do some other work before it hits the street.
