did you have those valves put in ? and you might have clearance problems if your valves are 2.02/1.60 and the X does have a lot of lift.(for a motorsport cam)

What heads are they?
Wouldn't recommend using the outdated X cam if you are buying a brand new set of heads.
Max lift #'s have nothing to do with PTV clearence. The piston isn't close to the valves when max lift occurs.
To answer your original question, the 2.02's with the x cam will not clear. Always measure.

Do a google search on procomp heads.
They are cheap chinese junk. Many many problems, poor castings, **** valve guides, the seat fall out of the head, the seats are not concentric with the valve, valves are cheap, just a bad deal.

That sums it all up, don't even think about buying them.
$700 for the heads
+$800 shop cost to fix all that is wrong with them
take the $1500 and buy some good heads

I have put two sets of these on cars, one 302 and one 331, and they seem to be holding up very well, but you need to swap out the valve spring. Very good head for the money and for me, made a few hours away from here.

What would be the benefit of the Floo Tek heads over my GT40P heads?

bigger valves
better flow
less weight
easier to repair if damaged
better heat dissapation

Can anyone give proof that procomp products are made in china? I've been looking and cant find any, not forum postings, but solid proof.
