I have heard they need a reasonable amount of machine work before you can bolt them on. i.e. they dont work real well with std manifold locations and so on. All that machine work costs $$$, so at the end of the day, they are not as cheap as the seem...

I've never seen a set in real life, but there is a massive thread on these heads in the Windsor forums on corral.net, http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread ... ht=procomp

If you are on tight budget, I think a set of iron ProTopline/RHS heads would be the way to go.

Whilst on the subject of pro topline heads rather then pro comp's. I've read a few articles written by people that reckon the pro topline head is the best bang for buck windsor head, period.

Your brother spends money on heads, yet skimps on a roller cam?

i've just bought a set of top line heads and will have here in few days so will post some pics up when i get em

top line heads benefit GREATLY from a little bowl work, an extra 35-40hp can be found here alone
These heads flow in vicinity of 420-430 straight out the box and easily flow over 500 with some work
