Anyone flowbench the trickflow 190 heads yet???

I can see where if a guy's expecting these big numbers out of these new heads that he would want a bigger cam and a little bit bigger carburetor to accommodate...
Definitely going down the line if you're going to do this you better do that...
I bet he spent every dime of 5K to get those heads on there.. head, valve cover, header, intak gaskets bolts (hopefully he had the correct rockers) of course everything has to be checked out by a machine shop$$, and like me has to make sure the correct Springs are installed...
If someone came out with a better head the fact could change...
if there was no internet I could come over with my cheap Speedmaster heads slap them on the table and we would look at them like perfection... I see not one thing wrong with these to not call them great except for the guru's running around in our heads... (Pun wasn't intended but it worked fine..)
Don't you have a set of trick flow heads? And if I'm not mistaken aren't these the ones that YR quote- "had his nose pickers on?.." lol..

Yes and yes and I am a trickflow fan boy for the right application lol.I know your heads look good but what do the guides measure?,how is the seat runout?,what are the spring specs?,are you going to rely on shims to locate the springs and not wear into the spring pads?,not being a smart *** Im serious,these are all good questions that I like to know/figure out.Now I don't need super high quality on all my builds,I have a built a ton of low buck stuff and the speedmaster heads have a place.But on an engine like you and I have I would want the above questions at least addressed and make a decision as to if close is good enough. If Rich said he has close to 5k in the refresh he does but he also mentioned the carb and cam and he don't run cheap stuff. Seriously,come on by in December when YR is here and bring the heads and have a bench race session, we are going to be doing some tuning on my car.
