Trick Flow small block heads

The last SBM bracket race motor I put together was several years ago.
416, Bowl blended RPM’s, easy on parts SFT, SV, 1-3/4” headers...... 561hp@6300.

Several years prior to that I had one on the dyno that I did the heads and cam for.......more head work, 1-7/8” headers, roller cam, Victor with adapter and 4500 carb......589hp.
Don’t recall where it peaked....... but was probably still in that 6300 range.

I wouldn’t expect to need to go more than 65-6700 to get one over the 600hp mark.

But......time will tell as more get built.


Yeah, it may not take 7000, but the life difference between 6300 or 6500 and 7000 is virtually nothing. As I said above. You can run more gear. More RPM is more power. I just don't think 7000 for the parts we have today is even remotely hard on anything.
