Im not sure if you have the worst ProMaxx heads ever sold, or that I have the best ones they ever made, What I do know is the ones I have have no slag , smooth throughout , a slight shift in bowl blending everything else looks as good or better than an Edelbrock casting. Looking at your pics you had every right to say they are $hit. I guess its the luck of the draw, whoever purchased those should have not accepted them , and returned for a refund or replacement.
