Auto spell checked out on You, boosted... I second Trick Flow.
Those trick flows look nice, I looked at one at the Nats last weekend.
You need to define the rest of the combo...street only..street/strip...strip only.....engine size...318...340....360...408....
transmission...rear end...slicks...going to take more then a set of heads to run 10.90...
how much does the car weight...

2400lbs with a 408. Prostreet with some racing. 14x32 tire backhalfed 904 trans
They do look good. I hear too much about the Edelbrocks not being plug and play.
Give me a min. to edit some pictures I took at the Nats.
Is it me... ,or is the exhaust port raised, T.M.M....?

Jeez, WTH are those tall heads? How about some W9s

At that weight anything will run 10.90’s.
Out of the box eddie heads on a 360 will run that good at that easily.
I have a 10 to 1 bone stock 360 shortblock with cam and boltons and have been 11.20’s already at 3300 pounds. Mildly worked eddies
Hang around till the end of the season and i will sell the motor complete carb to pan. In your car it would go mid 10’s easy.

Those orange heads in the photos are definitely a Chevy head. The small block Chrysler head will come CNC ported, and will look like a Chrysler head. The picture of the flyer in post #14 appears to be the correct one.

Most flow "okay" ootb, but not good.
What cid
with 408 in to get to 10.90's doesn't take much more than about 180 cc int port and [email protected], [email protected] ,275cfm by .500 lift... 11.1 compression blah blah
You wont need the baddest of bad heads to do that. Imo

no holes for W2 exhaust?
raised ports?
did they relocate the stands?
longer valves/ taller springs standard?
what makes this head super special?
better chamber (does it then take special pistons)
changed valve angle?
valves moved
pushrod clearance- does it require W2 rockers and how do you make it really work if you don't?

From why I know, which may be incorrect is they take stock rockers. That should be the first clue they are going to be airflow limited, just like every other head made like it.
AFAIK they are still 18* valve angle. Valves have not been moved.
Ports are not raised and who knows if the put the stands in the correct location because you'd need to run the exact same cam and rockers as they tell you or they need to be corrected.
I don't know why in THE hell no one just makes a simple copy of the W-2 in aluminum. The market is flooded with these limited castings. Or better yet, make the W-5 head again, and fix the **** core boxes.
Then you have a head capable of feeding 390-400 inches to about 7200 and make power.
