New track times!!!

On my 351W my best is 12.61@106 and on 175 shot 11.33@118. I shift at 5100rpm. I need a bigger cam and atleast my heads and intake ported.

Check into Procomp aluminum heads they are about 700 bux brand new. They are made in Austrailia and are very well made and look and flow great. My Dad just bought some for his 383 stroker and we were very pleased.

My Mustang is a street car I'm happy where it's at right now. But later down the road. I'm just going to build a mild 408 with AFR 205. I mean like 5 years down the road.

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!!
