Trick Flow gets my vote for that. I suppose their head itself is ok but I wouldn't use any of the hardware that comes with it. BTDT and regretted it.

I think I read it in one of Lingenfelter's books. He said that if you have to choose between a good set of heads or some hot cam, pick the heads.

Decided to take the head off and found that the valve had hit the piston and broken it and scored the bore. R&R time. Had the heads checked and found that the side with the broken spring had loose valves. All of them wobbled in the head. The other side was fine.

I had the heads repaired and sold. Bought AFR 190s instead. Should have gone bigger then but oh well. Anyways, I wouldn't trust anything from Trick Flow on my car. If I had to use their heads, I would get a bare head and put my own stuff on it.
