I'm not going to help this topic get into a bigger pissing contest than it already has. Bluesmoke asked for opinions concerning cylinder heads. I gave him my thoughts, and why. If he elects to pony up and buy quality heads, great. If he opts to go with the ProComps, that's ok too. I didn't try to sell him heads, and I didn't try to get his work. I'm certain whichever shop he chooses to do his engine will be glad if he goes with the proven heads.
Brotherton at Brodix, Mastin at Dart, and Sperling at AFR market quality cylinder heads because it's their love, not just their business. When they finish their production runs of bbc heads, they'll move on to sbc, or sbf. What is the Chinese factory gonna run next, sbc or 10,000 garbage disposal housings. I honestly don't know, do you?
When a company markets poor quality products or services, that not only hurt the customer, they also hurt the companies that provide quality parts and services. If a customer has a limited amount to spend on an engine, and he gets straddled with junk, it leaves him with bad feelings towards the industry in general.
If you have any further thoughts, concerns, or questions in regard to my opinions, contact me. Let's not bore everyone else with a personal debate. Sorry if I offended anyone, my intent was to offer bluesmoke my opinion on cylinder heads.
