Procomp is made in Austrailia. They flow as good as trick flows and have CNC'd ports and chambers.

I will have to "strongly" disagree with you.

If you seen a set of these heads you would be very surprised.

Last time I checked they were made in China. From what I understand, the company was sold to China a few years back and had destroyed the Procomp reputation.
I remember reading countless post over on Fordmuscle about these heads last year. Pictures were even posted with brand new procomp heads showing the obvious poor machinery and craftmanship. I wish I could find the link for some of those post.
The bottom line was that if you had the resources to "fix" these heads then they were a good bargin but they are NOT bolt on heads out of the box.
There is a reason why they are so much cheaper than the other popular name brand heads. You get what you pay for I guess...
If you still don't believe me then go to fordmuscle.com yourself and ask, then tell us what they say, which I already know...unless the company changed hands again within the last year I beg to differ.

You are not understanding. We have purchased examined and installed these heads already, and were happy as could be with the purchase.

My Trickflows looked like junk compared to the Procomp heads.

True story!!

Well then one of the following must have happened then:

1) Procomp did indeed sell the company back to Austrailia.
2) You just were lucky enough to get a good set of heads.
3) The guys on Fordmuscle had nothing better to do than post false information and experiences.

Maybe somone else can chime in here and give us their experience with procomp heads or shed some new information on this situation.

Dark 5.0..I'm not trying to say I dont believe you. I'm just curious as to what events has transpired that you actually got a good set of heads from that place.

I felt like we were rolling the dice to try these heads but we were happy with them.

We have purchased some junk heads in the past from World products, Sportsman II's that needed extensive machine work right out the box.

Yep, I seen a set of 2.02 iron pro comp do real well on a stock bottom end 5.0 and an f-cam.
Ports were flowing good #'s out of the box, no porting necessary.
