This is funny...dude taking it personal cause someone said something bad about PRO COMP HEADS..
:lol: :lol: :lol: For what it's worth I never said anything bad about the heads or your car. Show some pics of the front and side...it looks like a cool car. P.S. My wheels are Centerline's not Greg Weld and I wish I'd never bought them |
Tod i THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW YOU HAD CENTERLINES!! :shock:

Curtis didn't say they were no good, he just said you couldn't port as big and that they had less potential, doesn't mean you can't port them and get decent numbers. They just don't have alot of potential. There a good set of heads, just not a real good set of heads. Sorry, you can't have a discussion without getting your feeling hurt. Maybe this will help.. EVERYBODY PRO-COMP HEADS ARE THE BEST HEADS ON THE MARKET!! and if you have any questions please PM Bungho, he is the resident expert. Well Bungho, Hope that helps your hurt feelings. |
Well Dsucker who asked you?And Yea,People who post more are better people,you are wicked smart,you cant even understand what my response was about,but then again you do race a aerodynamic truck....

Pro Comp Heads
I hate that my question got a little out of hand with the replies. But I understand and respect that everyone has there own thoughts on this. Now back to the other part of the question about who builds a motor that will perform as advertised. I have read big names Shafiroff, Reher Morrison etc. have sold motors that ended up no so great, I saw where a 540 from Shafiroff was sold as 695 hp and the buyer wasn't happy with the performance and pulled the motor out and took it to a dyno on his own and claims the hp was 150 less than advertised, It seems to me none are real honest about the advertised figures no matter who the builder is. I'm hoping for some replies that have had motors built by someone honest, Seems like word of mouth may be the best route to go here. I am looking for a 540 with 700 or so hp but needs to be streeable. Thanks

PROCOMPS
hello I just saw this posting and I have a set of procomps on my car right now..454 chevy.they are what you pay for no doubt.I have pulled 3 rocker studs out so far with the cheap springs that procomp sells on the complete heads.The design isnt very good there is just no meat for the thread on the intake valve rockerstuds.The casting is slightly more porous than a good head so that even weakens the area more.I couldnt even imagine running alot of spring pressure on these heads it would be a ticking timebomb.So far I havent actually broken a boss its just pulled the heli coils out.I have my machine guy put a keen sert in it and go on.Its almost impossible to get the valve covers to seal on these things also.I paid 950 complete for mine so I got what I paid for I would just suggest you do your homework before purchasing..good luck

Hey gungho, I have nothing to say for or against Pro Comp heads because I don't know anything about them so I am not here to argue or jump on you so don't take it that way. But as far as someone having a car without a parachute and you questioning how fast it can be, my car has no parachute and if I ran at a sanctioned track they would throw me out. The few tracks I frequent are non sanctioned so I don't have to have one and they have plenty of shutdown. I have a Camaro like the one you have so of course I like it. If your ever in Texas(I didn't notice where you are from) shoot me an email and we can meet up and go have some fun.

I can't run an NHRA track either. Car doesn't need a chute because I don't think it would go 150 mph but it would need to be certified.

OK I couldnt keep my mouth shut on this. I may not know what products are good and whichh ones are bad. But I will not insult the guys on here when they are stating their own opinions on a certaiin product and think I am a bad azz and think I own the fastest car on the track. Heck Gungho doesnt even have the nuts to race in an actual event. Instead he "grudge" races. Honestly if the guys on here sya a product is bad and it is better to get this other product then I am going to be listening to them cuz they are the ones that are on the track using these parts. Spending their hard earned money to keep their car going down the track.There is A LOT of experience in this forum from building engines to driving. I think I am done now.

"Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.Speak on what you have experienced not what you have heard." Just my take on it P.S. Just found this in an ad on RACINGJUNK for a set of PROCOMPS http://static.racingjunk.com/63/ui/8...COMP-HEADS.jpg |
Yeah i was getting both sides of the stroy till he started to puff his chest and throw out challanges to people he didnt even what they ran. And then started talking sh@@ to people that werent even involved. I get mad when I am thrown into stuff I dont have anything to do with.
