I have a set of Pro Comp heads on my car as we speak. It runs great for a street car. I'm sure I could of got more out of a set of AFR or Trick Flow's or some other good head manufacture, but I built my stroker on a budget and so far it makes me happy.

I had a race at the first of this month, first time the car was taken to the track since it was finished. I only have my base timing set @ 9*BTDC. Limited on RPM's that day because I forgot my chips for the MSD 6AL at home. My car is full interior, all glass windows kinda street car, I made two passes 11.92 @ 113mph, running on pump gas. I won't buy another set of them, but my set was OK for what I wanted.
