ProComp/Speedmaster aluminum heads

Been in the market for some small block aluminum heads for a 408' single turbo build and been following all of the threads on the SPEEDMASTERS, I don't have the luxury of owning my own flow bench and honestly wouldn't know WTF I was doing anyway. Since everybody and their brother claims to own a bench why it seems like it'd be easier to split atoms in the garage then obtain flow numbers for the SM ported heads is beyond me. I'm not a bare budget guy but ain't afraid to save a buck either if I can and i've (rightfully or wrong) come to the conclusion that the castings seem to be fine. Though I've been talking to someone that has been running their ootb springs,valves and retainers for going on five years now the valvetrain hardware is where i'm tentative and will end up buying name brand stuff and It will assuredly end up costing me more but will allow me to feel a little more secure when I stand on it.

The tariff stuff has definitely impacted overseas goods but we can't have it both ways and sacrifices need to be made so i'm cool with that because we finally got more than an empty suit in the oval office. Talked to Speedmaster just fkn Wednesday and even mentioning Black Friday got offered $1400 Bucks, today via their site pair of ported heads to the door $965 bucks so their on the way. Not real thrilled with the salesmen I spoke with since it's a HUGE price difference but it is what it is and that's a good chunk of Dinero to save.
