**ProComp Heads, Anyone using them?***
I am looking for info on these heads, they claim to flow 270ish runners and 70cc chambers and have a thicker deck! Can anyone share their thoughts on these. They are T6061 castings!
Any and all info is helpful?

I want to know if these are any good for boosted applications as a certain person reached out to me to test these heads on my new build! just looking for any testing and personal feedback?
If things go well, I would like to see these go up against the LSA CNCd heads! They seem to look fairly similar so far?

Procomp is just the old Pro-action casting in Australia. On sbf and SBC, they are IDENTICAL to proactions right down to the casting marks. I would say they are good, just upgrade the hardware.

Pull beside-the curb lane-the street sweeper's already on it's way.
If your on a budget-make sure you have a budget to replace everything.
Common sense is a thing of the past.

Not all of us can kick the family to the side and run 160mph in the 1/4!
We are just trying our best with what our wives allow us!

My wife doesn't work-I prefer she stay home to take care of my kids-they have a healthy appetite for roast beef, prime rib and chicken and steak.
They also like to go for walks twice a day-and I like to come home for lunch and supper.
She's pretty good at making sure I'm fed too.
Since when did get married mean you stop wearing the pants?

Well said, great stmnt of this thread, even i consider arun my tuner and friend but i had to applaud on this stmnt above.

Let me tell you what's so special about it-it follows you home on your day off, your holidays, your lunch and even your supper-hell even when your in bed.
Want a day off-yeah right-thank god for smart phones-there's no day off.
My guys get paid top dollar, they get bonuses and raises every year-even when I'm not making anymore money. But that's the price to pay if you want to keep a good crew. The last time I got a raise was in 2007. With todays' economy-it's not easy-especially when you have to compete with everyone and anyone who will undercut your price to steal your business.
I've got a 22 stitch scar on my right wrist from unloading 120lbs sheets of steel all day in 100 degree heat. On my left arm I got a 8 stitch scar from another sheet was sitting off a table just a bit.
My shoulder is messed up from forming 10 foot long enclosures, since nobody else wanted do it guess who had no choice.
I get to stay late when the truck doesn't arrive on time to load everything, and when a shipment arrives on the weekend and needs to be unloaded-who has to do it?
Then there's the time when you have a power failure and Eaton needs panel cut formed and punched in the middle of the night-they call me.
Sami your absolutely clueless buddy.
You Sami-you punch in and you punch out-that's it.
Honestly-I just lost some respect for you.

well, I don't know anyone that has used the procomp heads but new results are always nice to see.
For the record, the only thing under my hood that isn't second hand is the shortblock.haha Be happy with what you have and work harder for what you want!

again, these are made in China and distributed through Australia to look like the are made there. I had good luck with these either way. I also had a 275 shot for 2 years and a procharger for about a year.
