The tfs tw 170s flow better in low lift situations. I think you will be suprised with the hp increase know i was.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty excited. Everyone had good things to say about TFS. I did read about guys having problems blowing the head gaskets TFS recommend to us. Have you had any problems?

I had problems with head gaskets on my old motor but was caused by the block the deck was not flat didnt find it until after i had the new motor was in have had no problems with this block almost 30k on it now. Be sure to use a good head gasket and new head bolts or studs.

I ordered new ARP bolts and the head gaskets TFS called for. Can you tell me what gaskets are you using?

 

[originalnitro]

The ones with 30k on them are tfs mls part# (tfs 51494030 040 ) at summit. They would be overkill with a stock bottomend.

 

[JoeyB]

Gaskets that will not leak is never overkill in my book Thanks for the info.

I've had good luck out of felpros 1011-2.

The Felpro 1011-2 are the ones I ordered with the heads.

I hope they improved those since I used em 6 years ago. Blew gaskets with two sets with my Canfield heads. When I built my 331 using the same heads I went with the O.E. expanded graphite gaskets and sprayed the crap out of em with Koppercote. Ain't touched em since I built it 6 years ago.

Koppercote....that sounds like a really good idea to improve the life of a gasket. Do you know if you can use Koppercote on any OEM style head gasket?

But it works on the expanded graphite ones.

 

[JoeyB]

Gotcha. Thanks for the tip.

Just to let everyone know that the Trick Flow heads I just put on freaking rock! Talk about waking up a motor! There is my two cents on heads
