what do yll think of trick flow heads

[cobra head]

waz up guys i just got a set of trick flow twisted wedge heads with 1.7.2 rollors rockers i havent really heard much ab them bc not many ppl around here have ran them much around here just would like ylls input btw the way im going to put them on a 302 with LT headers cobra intake gasket match and going to go with a crane cam AKA cobra cam forgot specs 70mm tb looking to put down atlest 320 to the wheels thanx

You won't see 320 at the wheels with cobra cam you need a better cam then that and I'd port the shit out of the lower if ur serious on running a cobra intake .... No alphabet cams I'd get a custom cam made

 

[Musturd]

But those heads are great

 

[cobra head]

well to tell u the truth the reason im saying 320 is bc a friend of mine had the same setup but he had just some old 4 bar heads and put down 311 on the dyno and im going to be running way better heads i know my tq should be around 348 or so

what is a crane cam aka cobra cam? I think 320 is rather optimistic as well.

 

[Musturd]

It could happen I see alot of guys on here making under 300 with te tfs top end kit .... Everyone that I have tuned has not mad less then 310 rwhp and most make 320-330

I bought my 170s almost 2 yrs ago when they were on sale for $1k shipped as I already had a cobra intake. I finally got the cam and 1.6 rockers to go with it and installed them last year. Love the sound, my dyno numbers were limited by a bad tps/ignition as well as my side exhaust.

Crane 2031 isnt it....

 

[Musturd]

Notch your pistons and run a TFS stage 2 if needed. Do a search and you'll find they're some of the best heads for the buck. They had a couple of issues on the early model with some guides getting eaten, problem is long gone though.

 

[Musturd]

I don't think piston nothing is required for the stage 2 cam

 

[ivan12]

I've heard of some PTV issues, No first hand experience though

 

[Musturd]

Yea I always check PTV and throw away stock valve springs

 

[cobra head]

the cam is a crane cam 513int. 5293xh w 1.7 rockers part number 444225

I ran 1.6 and didn't have any problems but we did check for ptv....

Trickflow heads are awesome. I have a set of Trickflow high ports on mine but no dyno or track numbers with them yet.

As far as what you will put down compared to what your friend did its a moot point. Also were those dyno numbers corrected? If so then they are not accurate of what the car actually makes for power. To know the real potential for what kind of power a car has is to see what the trap speed is in the 1/4. Most of the time a standard H/C/I package will put around 285-305 at the wheels. No idea what the 4 bar heads were that were on your friends car.

I think the 4 bar heads are the GT-40P's

I dont think you'll see that much. I have that exact setup. 94-95 Cobra Intake, TF heads, LT headers, with full exhaust and Im running a TFS1 Cam and 1.7 RR... I made 300RWHP and 310 TQ. Its possible but unlikely. Also depends on the dyno you use.

 

[ttocs]

I thought the top end kit advertised that it was good for 300 hp but I can't remember for sure. Either way its a great set up, good pricing and you should not be disappointed.

 

[CanaryGT]

Is it Crank or Wheel HP tho?
