They are a slightly improved version of a Pro-Comp head... That is all I have to say about them. There are problems with core shift, and QC is not the best. Put aside some extra $$$ and look at RHS, Edelbrock, Trickflow and AFR.

Yes low Aussie dollar is good for our farmers.
But bad for importers of US performance parts

But bad for importers of US performance parts Yeah I got lucky with importing something at just under 95 cents and by the time I got it here the dollar was worth 84 cents, now it is just over 82 cents.
