What is the best head for a small block.

Does anyone know if the Victor heads are any good? Why aren't we seeing more engines built with Victor heads?
All along, Trick Flow has billed their new small block head as a bolt on replacement, even specifying on the pamphlet they were handing out that it was not intended to be an all out racing head, so I think they will do well in the intended market IF they have good quality out of the box.
I was also looking at how much material there is around the pushrod holes on the Trick Flow. Interesting.

If you look at the flow rates of the TF heads, they are not much better than Eddy heads until you get above .600" lift. IMO, this head is not any better than the Eddy Performer head at valve lifts that are below .600". Flow at lower lifts are more important that flow at max lift because that's where most engines spend their time. The TF heads MAY be better quality but are they better enough to warrant the greater expense.
