They're obviously a Chinese casting based on the price and they look just like the pro comps. I have a pair of bare cnc'd procomps I may get around to using some day. If you had to run these castings I think you'd be better off getting them bare and buying your own valve train parts so you know you're not getting junk. Truth is, by the time you buy a decent valve train, valve job and make sure everything is straight you'd probably be better off buying a known good set of heads.

they are probably pro-comps based the demensions, just stamped with a different name.. the reason why they are cheap is because of the material of the heads and chinese parts. they are using 2024 alloy versus the 6021 alloy that is stronger that most other manufacturers use. I personally dont have experience with these ones but i have run the tri-state cylinder head gt-40x replicas with good results, also ive ran the patriotperformance ones, they are alright, few hick-ups but overall decent. and last the edl e-streets arent bad for the money either, good fit..

Is says in the ad part brand is PRO COMP

If you buy them from Troy at FPS they are bare and he hand picks his cores. Otherwise, keep looking.
