Default Patriot Stage II 5.3L's installed

finally got around to installing my PP 5.3L StageII's milled .015 this weekend. they are actually 4.8L castings but same difference

install was pretty straight foward. took about 15 hours spread over 3 days.

very noticable power increase and so far ive very very pleased with the performance

track times and dyno's coming shortly

fyi, if you plan on installing heads and just dropping the headers down some to get to then bottom head bolts, make sure you remove the o2 sensors and dont just unplug them. i got coolant on mine and toated both o2 sensors. for those who remember my recent threads, this appears to have been the problem

the patriot stage II's were 1295 from texas speed. but the cool thing is there is no core charge. so when i send my stockers to patriot i get 200 back

1095 for stage II heads cant be beat

Glad your happy with the setup man!
Yeah its pretty hard to beat 1295 for stage 2 heads! We went to Patriot this weekend & got to see how much time & effort Terry puts into his heads. What a great company!!!
