Default Pro Comp Heads?

Whats the difference between the Trick Flow heads and the procomp heads on ebay? They both have either 190 or 210cc intake runners, 60cc combustion chambers, 2.02 intake valves and 1.90 exhaust valves. So what is the difference besides the procomps being $600 less than the Trick Flows?

Pretty much sumed up: you get what you pay for.. So with that said pay the man. More simple is good not as good. Bubba

If I went with the procomps would I make about the same power? What would wear or break faster on the procomps vs. the Trick Flows?

um... i guess you need to buy some procomps then... b/c youve already run stock heads...

j/k

anyway, yes... procomps are junk.Casting inaccuracies, poor molds, bad machining, low quality build components...
