For the record, that's why I just ditched them alllllllll together. Much better heads to be had for the money and less of a headache man.

Glad to hear everything else checks out okay though bro!
I would at least like to get the miles on the motor with the procomps to make it to a dyno tuning session to see what it puts down before ditching them for a set of AFR/TFS heads.

once we get the geometry sorted out i think they will be ok...i had talked to greg about these style heads a couple years ago when they first came out...a ported set of pro-somps compared to an equivalent set of ported victor jrs were only about a 30hp difference advantage for the victor jrs...but a a set of high ports in the future would be pretty nasty...lol

I believe someone on the corral had posted some pictures of the misalignment as well. I should take a look for those and see if it is exactly the same. I've found several posts that mention it, and I have to assume that most if not all of the Procomps have this misalignment flaw. I wonder how many are unaware and not correcting the problem.


***EDIT: Here are the pics and the thread from the corral of someone else with the same misalignment and the pics of what another guy did buy cutting and rewelding the guideplates.

Cut and welded guidplate and resulting geometry
