Default Procomp stuff?

Has anybody used Procomp internals or heads? And what did you think of the quality?

The head test in HotRod magazine looked promising, but it my dealings with anything from Procomp, there parts are best kept for derby cars and NOT drag/oval/street cars. There parts are just very poor copys of everybody elses.

My car had a Procomp fuel pump, distributor, ignition box, coil, and an electric water pump. Never had a problem with any of it. It was a turbocharged small block Chevy. I switched to a 5.3 and my dad is going to be using my old motor with twin turbos and will be reusing all the procomp stuff. I wouldn't have any problem using their brand again.
