I have heard some not so good things about them. There was a thread on this board in another forum about Procomp SBC heads. In short the money saved by not buying a quality well known brand was spent to fix all the bad things on them and they still didn't flow as good as a comparable Brodix, Dart, or AFR head.

ive heard that if you go with a pretty good size cam they tend to rip the rocker studs out. stud,threads and all,with a chuck of aluminum that breaks off with it. just what ive heard. dont know for sure

i guess it would depend on the aplication your using it for. if your just doing a mild build they will be fine. i know the sbc 2.02 pro comp heads out flow the edelbrock performer RPM heads. if your are going full blown race, i would say no

Don't save money on your heads...it will be a disaster if they fail. Dart 325 or Edelbrock's work great and no issues.
