Anyone flowbench the trickflow 190 heads yet???
I have said it before to the J,X head believers that the Magnum style chamber is worth at least 25-30 hp, and I even recall you saying the J/X head LA junk was still your preference. lol J.Rob
This is more of what takes a thread of the rails...But.. for the sake of beer can bumping and chuckles by the tool box...
1st we arent talking the same animals...it really isn't a "magnum style" chamber..its a closed chamber, like many LA/B/RB heads before it. Are they even identical to the mag, probably not.
If we were talking the same animal, then the comparison would be an factory LA vs factory magnum, all out. LA wins.
But it sounds by your post... you, not me, are comparing a factory LA head to a rhs or eq head that is still a redesign of ports 'LA STYLE" and apples to oranges.
The chamber could be worth 10-15 hp and he had a tail wind pushing him down the track, who knows. lol jk
Keep in mind though..Production LA 308 head was the 1st with killer exhaust ports, mag followed.The chamber is the only thing borrowed from the mag design if at all, the rest hit the trash can and they reshaped the chamber still.
I like closed chambers, don't get me wrong.
If I can have them both...like with most AM heads ..I'm in.
