building a boss block 363ci engine. have got the short block ready. was thinkin of going with the new afr 220 head, but i can get a good deal on some trickflows. i was thinking the 225 highports would be enough but trickflow is telling me go with the 240 highports. i will be running a trickflow r box upper and a s91 turbo. looking to make 1200-1300 hp. any suggestions on heads?

Sounds like more air with less heat to me. I'd go with the big ones, you've got plenty of turbo to push it.
Look at the modulars, smaller cubes and plenty of head on them, they love turbos, same principles should apply IMO.
Just give it the rpm it needs. I assume this is a solid roller cam?
I'd talk to Lil John for the valvetrain, he's probably not busy at all :)

Is Trick flow telli g you to go with the 240 or is Mike from TEA telling you to go with the 240?

Personally i cant see needing the 240 on a 363 even with a 91mm. The 225 flows 350/270 @ .700... its more than enough flow and a ton of cross section for a 3.4 stroke motor...

A 240 would easily support 9k+ rpm on a 363.

Is this a street driven car or all out race car?

Get ahold of Mike at Total Engine Airflow. Probably be easiest via email off thier website.

Both will do great on a turbo 364" set up. If its a street strip more mild deal, prob lean towards the 225 heads. If its s pretty serious pc, then I'd go with the 240 head.

414... that motor needs a 240 on it.

A 4 inch stroke motor at 414 inches will need more cylinder head than a 363 inch motor with a 3.4...more port cross section to be exact.

Air speeds will be much higher in the port with your motor, to the point they could enter a sonic choke situation... theres only one way to remedy that.... a bigger cross section port.

On a 400"+ engine I would go with 240 Highport as well
