What cc's are the Eddy's and are the Trick Flows smaller any higher on compression and E85 is not going to take that, well maybe.
This is the time of the year for the best air and ET's at the track. LOL!
Aluminum heads and 93 octane is a little more forgiving. Race fuel available at the local track for those 1/4 mile runs. Expensive but worth the fun. LOL!
Wow first Kraut sell his vert and now this...I remember them as good members from the drydock before I left it due to the clowns. The original cast is getting old...

I've not seen any info that says a Trick Flow 240 standard port head will come close to that number especially OOTB.
Flow numbers from Dwayne Porter's bench.
Lift-----in/ex--ex w-tube
.100--71.6/52.9----52.9
.200-156.1/116.5--125.2
.300-229.3/163.6--174.8
.400-274.8/192.7--213.2
.450-290.5/202.6--226.1
.500-302.9/209.2--238.0
.550-311.1/215.0--245.7
.600-316.0/220.8--251.5
.650-317.9/222.7--254.2
.700-319.7/224.6--259.2
.750-321.6/226.5--261.1
IMHO unless you plan to go big roller on your cam your money might be better spent to have your RPM's ported unless you were planning to upgrade your 383 and need to buy heads anyway.
In any case with your .550 minus lash cam I don't think you will see "drastic" in the change department altho there should be some improvement for sure.
The 270 cc Max Wedge is advertised at 350 cfm at .700 but is not available yet.
Just to be clear I think the Trick Flow is an excellent head, just not $2000 better than what you already have.
Here's 9 pages on Moparts discussing it. Lots of good info especially from fast68plymouth and AndyF.

I see it as, they flow good OOTB and from what they are saying in that thread 290 cfm was on ported Eddy RPMs. The Trick Flows are getting that at .450-.500(under his cam lift). If his Eddy's are unported he will defiantly see a increase if his Eddy's are ported will be a small amount but may pull better mid range which is not bad for a heavy car. Put them on and let's see it's fun spending other peoples money
Before you start would be a good time to run the car on a dyno to get a set of base readings.

I had Larry Smith from Flow Tech 2 Cylinder heads, port and polish my TF 240s to match a 337 intake. It is somewhere between a standard port and MW port. The intake manifold was also massaged, the exhaust ports cleaned up. The cost was right around $500.

This is cfm the intake ports are 246 cc
PS-the baseline of the 240s on his bench were close but a couple CFMs lower than published.

Thanks for the info! I only plan to put the Trick Flow heads on because I already have them. I will definitely try to get the car dynoed or timed before I make the swap. I suppose I could just put the Trick Flows on my 383, but I think that it would be rather pointless (in comparison to putting them on a 440).

You should definatly get a dyno session or 1/2 dozen passes at the drag strip (keep a note book) of visual weather and barometer, humidity,temp, and 1/4 mile times and more important mph. Then do it again with trick flows. Stick to your plan since you have them, if the results are not what you want you can always have them ported and change the cam.
My opinion FWTW

did I miss it ? Whats the plans now, are you keeping the other one?
The Horvaths

Not sure yet. At the very least it will be running and driving before it is gone. I assume you mean the Sport Fury?

Yes... Certainly not the Challenger . You bought this one because it is what you wanted from the other without all the work and expense...? correct
The Horvaths

Correct. Sort of. My plan was to drop a 522 stroker in the Blue Moose, but this is better.
