    Go with beehive springs if you can afford it. True they're not really needed but nice to have.

    So where does it tell us they are made in Australia? Pro Comp Electronics is a Chinese electronics company, everything I've seen from them says "Made In China". They do have an office and warehouse in Australia. Maybe they have the heads cast in Australia, doesn't take away from the fact that they are, for the most part, poor rip-off copies of American designed and produced heads with no engineering input from Pro Comp.

    Edit: To the OP - maybe they have improved over the years from when we heard all of the horror stories. Get a set and let us know how they work out. Just don't be surprised if it takes some bucks at a machine shop to straighten them out.

    Did you check the link and read anything or check contact info Procomp has the biggest names in Australian drag racing I have used several sets and the ones I received were nothing but top notch so must be two different company's.

    Same Chinese company, they just have a location in Australia. They also have a location in California but that doesn't make them an American company. A lot of good performance parts come from Oz, maybe Pro Comp bought out one of the decent companies.

    IDK......just know the two sets I used to build customers 331 and 347 had no issues at all and were very nice casting almost looked like blue thunder castings like my ford fe heads something to investigate for sure.....I have bought some KILLER 351 cleveland parts from down under maybe there out sourcing the castings.
