I can't say for the 190's, but I had a pair of their 200's on my 383 LT1 and ran a 6.55 in the 1/8 in my 3300lb racecar. I'm building a new carbed 383 and Phil is getting a set of their TFS 215's ready for me, hopefully it'll run 6.20's.

I have the 190cc package it is awesome just got a mail order tune in and should hit the Dyno in acouple weeks. I can tell a huge difference in the engine already plus when you get the heads back you are not going to want to use them they look so pretty and shiny I wanted to put them in the house for decoration.

FWIW Ron told me the 200cc heads were 10-15 more hp depending on the cam and rest of the setup. You just have to decide if that extra hp is worth it to you.

Now that was on my stock shortblock, I'm sure if you have a stroker that gap would widen even more and make the 200's really shine.

Those patriot heads run like DOG POOP!

You couldn't pay me to run em. Saw a 383 with them that was slower than a STOCK LT1 firehawk...

I am in waiting for my AI 200cc heads, cam, and intake. Can't wait. Can't go wrong with their heads, cams, or valve trains.

The AI 190s run very well. A guy on here by the username of 96capricemgr (Dwayne) had them on his Caprice with a small cam. He had gone 11.90s in it at over 4,000lbs
