Trick Flow Heads

Has anyone installed the Trick Flow heads for the small bore 305? I have a 1983 TA with the 305 HO motor and was considering these. Would like to know if anyone is running them and what kind of performance gains they realized,

I haven't seen them run but your choices for small bore is slim. Holdener did a video on his tests

Seen a few builds. One or two guys on here had them on 305 or 334 strokers

richard holdener made some decent power with them, 612 with boost

Those .050 duration and lift specs are for a 268XFI, so is the cam that or the XR274? Maybe it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I don't think he keeps very good documentation. This is not the first inconsistency with his recollection of or info provided on videos of older build.

That said, I think the TFS 175 heads are great heads for a 305. Helping a friend with a remote build and that's what he ended up going with.
