Default trickflow l92 heads for 4" bore??

Wandering do they exist ive seen some refrences to them but cant seem to locate them anywhere? Also wandering about the procomp ls3 cnc heads? they are cheap and supposedly flow great just wandering what it would cost to get them with good springs valves etc. cant find any real info on them either like valve angle etc.

ive found that the ls3 style trick flows have never been released. So in l92 its stock, worked over stock, mast black label(3500 bucks ouch), or procomp cnc heads.

Don't know from experience but I hear the Dr J's "Airwolf" LS3 heads are good( they use the ProComp LS3 castings).

^^^^I never got any full answers from the person that started and pushed that thread. It was very vague, on the flow chart there was no bore size or if a pipe used and how many inches it was flowed at.

He touched on the durability of other casting when we asked about the porosity of his castings. I asked him well what about power? You can't tell me you have taken off a Brodix or AFR and put on a Procomp and made more power? I never got an answer back.

yeah it was clear that they were beating around the bush with answer. after a while it the thread started to get funny with the posts. That devils mentor guy had me lmao with that wolfman curse quote lol.

Well seeing how this thread is FULL OF FAIL, lets see how much you care when the dust starts to settle on your inventory of Wolfy heads and their shinny luster starts to fade away.... You'd think they
were...they were... C-C-C-CURSED - "Even a set of heads that is pure at flow, and has good lift by 600, may become an AIR WOLF when the..... ehhh... yeah you get the point!

well everyone is knocking the procomp castings, lets face it guys, most all those draped in the american flag performance parts are made elsewhere. Id be shocked i mean absolutely shocked if MAST Black Labels are actaully cast in the USA. Finished out sure but cast i highly doubt it.

Thats not the point though, old sbc heads were so porous that coolant would leak right thru them. They would crack for no reason because their casting wasnt strong enough.

If Mast heads are casted outside of the USA they are still a good product. A good bit of people running them and no issues that I have ever heard of. Shiz and ATVracer run their car hard with a 450 shot to the tune of 7.90's with a set of their Mozez heads. That much cylinder pressure would surely crack a poorly casted head.

im not saying the procomps are good or bad castings i dont know, but GM blocks are known for leaking oil, and my point is i get really tired of hearing people say buy american well you point out a true american head, every part made here and assembled here by a guy making enough to supoprt his family, and ill gladly drop 3000 bucks + a pair on them, but i have yet to see them. That includes the GM castings i bet.

I can certainly tell you that both All Pro and Edelbrock are 100% made in America. Every part. Castings, seats and guides. The parts they are assembled with may be made elsewhere but the delivered castings are all designed and manufactured here in USA.

look around you, very few things were actually made in the US anymore due to labor and material costs. Procomps probably had some hiccups at some point but I've seen failures come from just about every manufacturer at some point in time. Never heard anyone say "damn US ____" they just assume the failure was do to misuse or something else. Same part from china brakes and its all of the sudden Mr. Bing's fault. Dumb. Walk through a 99 cent store sometime, I was suprised how much junk was made in the US there! No lie!

In school those Chinese and Indian kids set the damn curve! No joke these kids are smart and are determined. Dont underestimate them because of their geographic location or race.
