aluminum heads

82GT is lookin at RPM's, and talking to the 'higher up ranks" like Street Bandit and the like, they like them because they flow good outta the box, and I guess there's TONS of material in the casting, so they can get hogged out HUGE.

Now, that being said. I'm a big Canfield fan. Trying (without much luck, long story) to get 82GT a set of the same Canfield's that I'm running. This is a "young" casting, but it's already been tested by quite a few "real" racers out there, as well as a few street terrors such as myself. It's a great casting, performs very well out of the box, and a little bit of porting wakes them RIGHT UP. Not really on the market yet, but it is. Chapter 2 of that "long story". LOL

Have you dealt with any Canfield's Denny? The owner is a personal friend of mine, so I believe what he tells me. But I'd honestly like to hear an unbiased opinion if you have one!

One additional note on Pro Comp.

They are the gloriously tacky company that copies just about every other USA made manufacturers parts. Not quality wise, but in exact looks. Pro Comp makes cheap Chinese made distributors and Multiple Spark ignition boxes. MSD was successful recently in getting a court order to make Pro Comp stop manufacturing their blatant rip off of the 6AL box. Pro Comp also makes an exact look alike knock off of Flex-A-Lite's 5.0 electric fan. They damage companies like MSD, Edelbrock, and Flex-A-Lite by selling an inferior product that looks identical to products of companies that actually invested research and development costs into a good product, not just in stolen sales but when Pro Comp products go bad, the consumer who doesn't notice the brand difference will think "all the red ignition boxes" are junk. Think I'm wrong? Ask Flex-A-Lite how many tech calls they get from customers complaining about their Flex-A-Lite 185 fans that are defective only to have to waste the Flex-A-Lite tech's time when the Flex-A-Lite tech realizes and then has to explain that what the customer bought was a Pro Comp ripoff.
