When in doubt... floor it
Id like to see an offset intake rocker all out version! Competion for Indy W-2 stuff

IF the posted flow numbers are accurate then it’s danm close since most W2/5’s don’t go past 315-ish cfm. There OOTB head as listed is just a few cfm shy.It won't match a W-2/5 or the Indy stuff.

Time will tell.
I'd still rather pick my components myself. And I'd much rather do my own porting. Hey mike if you get a chance can you ask if they will sell bare casting with no port work and just the seats and guides installed? I don't even want a valve job on them.
J.RobThere is WAY more to making power than flow. We know we know My W-5's went 355. Sure the did. If I had another pair to start from scratch I could add another 20 to that on a 2.08 valve.
That head at 315 won't make as much power as a W-2 at 280. How do you know this? You've never even touched a set of TF's!
...Yes, Eddi at Trick Flow came through for me...
AgreedThere is WAY more to making power than flow.
Your the only guy I have ever heard that has had a W5 go that high. And your claiming another 20 cfm with a move from 2.02 to a 2.08?My W-5's went 355. If I had another pair to start from scratch I could add another 20 to that on a 2.08 valve.
I’ll await your dyno results.That head at 315 won't make as much power as a W-2 at 280.
How heavy was the car?
That’s a pretty good effort! Nice job. Dang.
Damn! I imagine that was a odd feeling
I'm betting NO and heres why: TF has ZERO control over the outcome. To illustrate: Some backyard builder (BYB) convinces TF to sell them a set of bareheads just like in the quote above. BYB receives them, hacks err ports them, does a valvejob that may or may not seal (nevermind the impact on flow), leaves the guides to tight or way too loose, and then fills them with offshore junk valves, springs etc.... BYB goes to the track if he even makes it that far and has terrible performance and possibly even a catastrophic failure. Everyone at the track or local cruise asks "What heads are those?" BYB responds "TF's new castings--I'll never use them again." Notice the word "castings"--BYB is being honest in a sense but the rest of the people only heard "TF's new cylinder heads". This is why I bet nobody other than the usual highend shops with the right contacts will be able to buy bare castings.
Besides YR/Madscientist, you admitted you've never seen them in person so why would you instantly think you could do better than TF already? J.Rob
Agreed
Your the only guy I have ever heard that has had a W5 go that high. And your claiming another 20 cfm with a move from 2.02 to a 2.08?
Yea, Ooooo K then!
I’ll await your dyno results.
I do realize there is more to a head than flow numbers.
Where did I say I made that number with a 2.02 valve? I never said that. You pulled that out of your hat. Are you working the RAMM school of making up details?
My heads used a 2.100 intake. If I did it again, I'd only use a 2.08 valve. And I'd cut the exhaust back to 1.500 because that's all they need.
I know that and I never said you did.Where did I say I made that number with a 2.02 valve? I never said that.
Now now, don’t loose your hat..... again.... LOL!You pulled that out of your hat.
Now now, don’t insult RAMM through me! Be nice.Are you working the RAMM school of making up details?
You never said that to begin with. What you said is below in quotes.My heads used a 2.100 intake. If I did it again, I'd only use a 2.08 valve.
Looking at what you wrote, above, it leaves holes in, “Information!”There is WAY more to making power than flow. My W-5's went 355. If I had another pair to start from scratch I could add another 20 to that on a 2.08 valve.
