Default Why is Procomp so bad?

Ok, I know it's cheap and you get what you pay for but the stroker kits are made out of the good grade steel that all the others are made of, the heads are pressure cast. I just spent $2600 buying the stroker kit and alloy heads with upgraded valve springs to handle .608 thou lift. I want to hear real stories NOT " I heard" stories. I am building a 347 stroker for my NC Fairlane and I'm aiming at 450-500BHP. I am using Comp cams cam and lifters and high quality timing set and balancer and I am using either trickflow or edelbrock intake. Please tell me the bad thing you have seen NOT heard with these components.

Cool, thanks. I wonder how they got 98.5 percent positive feedback on 34818 sales, if the stuff is so crappy. I realize it's made in china but they make some good stuff nowadays.
