Default Experience with Promaxx Cylinder Head?

Anyone have any experience with this brand of head?
Promaxx was formerly known as Alabama.

I'm really not trying to be rude at all man really. But I have a strong feeling you won't find anyone here that's used that head. Like I said I have never seen it posted on here or recomended. Maybe someone has and they'll postv here. But idk. Your skeptical of clearwater because of some things you've seen. I'm scared of the Promax because I've, well never heard of it haha.

You posting this on multiple forums? May have better luck at pirate or naxja.

Butv like vwas saidb in your other thread, they look to be exactly the same. Maybe get the Promax and do a review of it. But that's risky without first getting an ok. Hopefully someone does come along and say they've used it. I'm interested to see about it as well. Like I had said, researching a earlier this year for my uncle, all I would see is go with clearwater. That's all that came up. On this forum as well. Maybe this Promax is more viable. You've peaked my interest.

I found one post from this past summer of a guy saying he used the promaxx, no response from him yet...
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/20...ild-up-228832/

I will be sure to post up what I end up doing.
I do appreciate your input.

OP asks for reviews of a head nobody has used, then gets mad at us for not having used it. It's all our fault.

If you want to buy the Promaxx, buy it. Nobody is telling you it's a bad head (because we don't know), just that there's a cheaper option that does have good reviews, at least among Jeep people for this particular engine. There's no need for multiple threads and escalating drama.

I do find it ironic and possibly hypocritical that you're getting mad that people won't give you a good review for a head they haven't used, yet you keep crapping on the Clearwater head, which you haven't used.

How about this. Instead of making another postv on the Promax like you did, you could post asking about the clearwater. You would be getting lots of reviews by people who have used it. I know it's another thread on the same topic, but you woukd be hearing from people that have used one of the products.

extrashaky: you make a good point. Guess I am frustrated by the lack of info out there, which as has been said, is a mark against it.

Martlor13: I will do just that. Good call.
