Default What you think of these heads

I was thinking of getting these heads instead of going with the gt-40's. What you guys think, need opinions.

im also interested in these. Im looking for cheap heads, i was going to go with some cheap gt40s, but these arent all that bad from the looks of it. Hopefully someone will chime in, thanks.

I'd be suprised if that price was for 2 heads and even if it was..gauranteed when they arived there would be fitment issues..like they say you get what you pay for....hey you be the guinie pig and let us know if they bolt up a okay....and if that prices is for two?? if all goes well for you then I'd get a set for 400.00 cause you really don't have much to loose on a budget build if it'll work

Says its for a pair of heads, but they're bare. I'd spend the money on a head you know is good and fits well instead of trying some random heads off ebay.

A couple guys on corral.net have been guninee pigs. They have proved those heads are 100% worthless even the cnc versions suck. They have major machining issues, poor chamber design, cheap valve train, etc. Just chinese junk. BTW those are pro comp heads just relabeled.

$800 a pair bare isnt a deal, you'll easily spend $200+ for valves, springs, retainers, guide plates and studs.
