Default Trickflow LT1 heads?

Anyone have any feed back on the 195cc heads Trickflow has to offer for the LT1's?

Anyone have flow #'s for these heads? Is a set of Ported LT4 heads better for the cash?

The Trickflow LT1 heads have larger combustion chambers than stock, and will drop your compression. Best used on blower or turbo applications, unless you want to change pistons.

prochrager P-1SC will be a highly and likely route for the car,so it might be in my favor to use these heads...

If i remember right the LT4 heads flow close to 25x CFM max and the trickflows only outflow it by 10cfm all around?

The 10.8 compression of the LT4 heads is going the wrong direction if you want to go to a blower later. You should go with the lower compression heads for the blower as they'll be flowing under pressure and probably would be pretty close anyway.
