I cant speak from experience on any of there gen III or IV products but a local engine builder loves there heads for SBC, BBC and SBF. He used them on his rail car and recomended and sold them to anyone wanting an aluminum head. I would get them. I've thought about getting there LS6 head. Hope this helped.

I wouldn't put 'em on my ex-wife's car.
Valve seats are all over the place.
Geometry is hit and miss.
Big block castings are 8 - 10lbs less than comparable heads from Dart, Brodix, etc. Lighter means less initial material and cheaper to ship here from China.
I've seen a pair of big block rectangle port heads make less power than factory ovals.
Buy from someone who's actually done R&D rather than a cheap Chinese counterfeit copy.

When confronted about the durability of the casting in another thread we got no answer from the Procomp guy and we got no answer about what kind of power they would make. If these are a grand for the set I would just buy a set of factory bare ls3 heads and put valves and springs on them.

Just get you some springs and you are good to go.
If you are willing to stretch your budget a little. I got my PRC L92 heads from TSP with their stage 2 job and upgraded springs for a little more than 1500
