BBC heads??

[txaggie]

Howdy all!

After my latest valve seal debacle, I want to put some aluminum heads on my suburban. Which will be best for towing and low to mid range torque (plus street fun)? I’m punched out to 461ci with an rpm air gap and sniper II.

If I can ever swing a set of big block aluminum heads to try out on one of my trucks, the Trick Flow power oval 280's are at the top of my list.

Hard choice on heads. I do know Brodix have great customer service and i never seen a cracked Brodix head.

I have seen a cracked LS TFS head but not for a big block. Good thread here

Hard to go wrong with either one. For your setup I like the smaller intake runner of the Brodix but for compression I like the 113cc of the Trick Flow head. I would be looking for at least 9.0-1 and 9.5-1 would be better.

It will run fine with either head. Go with the most affordable of the two(my wallet talking).
