Trick Flow 440 heads, The Real Deal?

Not that I am recommending doing this but I was in a discussion elsewhere where it was suggested that bolting the Trick Flows on a mild street engine would result in soft performance except in the upper RPM ranges due to too large of port sizes. I completely disagree (we are not dealing with Max Wedge ports here). I am asking MRL, IQ52 and Andy F among others to comment on what to expect bolting the PP 240's on a 383 and a 440 that had stock shortblocks (in good condition, 10.25-1) along with headers, a Performer RPM intake, a 284 / 484 hyd flat tappet cam 750-800 carb and good ignition. Wouldn't the performance still be greatly enhances at all engine speeds? I don't think these heads would be overkill.....do you? Naturally the critics are promoting reworked stock heads, possibly bowl ported and lowering the C.R. to 9.25-1 for pump gas. Let's hear the experts throw in on the discussion. Thanks, JL

WOT throttle performance will increase significantly but I don't know how the engine would respond at part throttle or off idle. I assume it would be better but perhaps not. The port size in the TF heads is not much larger than an OEM head. The bowl is bigger and the valve is larger so maybe there is small loss of velocity. If you are willing to put some cam in the engine and twist the RPM up higher then the TF heads will really make a lot of power. I've done a bunch of builds over 700 hp now with fairly standard off the shelf parts. Pump gas, 10.5 compression, 4150 carb, 180 degree water temp, etc. Just takes a decent sized solid roller cam and the willingness to spin it to 7000 rpm.
