someone here just bought them... just so you know, you will need to do piston work to accomidate those big valves. definately not just a bolt on affair.

i just did some 'goole investigating' on these, real hard to find some info on them, but apparently, they're made in China, and they're pretty much junk.

funny you should say that, another guy posted the same thing on another board and he got corrected by someone who is apparently buddy buddy with Peter Ken, the owner of Pro Comp. he said they were imported form Australia, but they're actually made in China... hell i dunno, it was hard to find any valuable info on em'.
