do a search, the only ones doing 440+ consistantly are gtp and absolute speeds. Youll find all the big numbers with them. With the patriots you will find alot of guys that are a bit dissapointing

LOL.. I'm very dissapointed with my results
I'm sure I would have been happy if I would have paid over $2,500 plus a core for some other heads and made the same or less power

I'm a big fan of the Patriots, I gained almost 45 rwhp with the 5.3's. Now I know I'm "only" making 403 rwhp, but to me it's a big jump from the stock heads.

Dude....we all know "mods coming soon" questions are:(a) will you EVER buy/ install them
(b) will you EVER post your #'s
(b) do you EVER stop bashing sponsors
(c) will you EVER be able to see beyond your screen
(e) will you EVER post to a tech thread and share any usefull/personal knowledge other than what you've learned on your screen
(f) will you EVER gain any respect on this board....(I know the answer to that one....thanx anyway)

Hit the nail on the head. I've been seeing more and more of this lately. It sucks, because in reality, he has ABSOLOUTLY no idea what he's taking about, it just stirs up ****. As if GTP and Absolout are the only ones making 440rwhp...what a dumbass comment. 
I laugh at you

I'm waiting to see the results of the AFR heads. After that I'm gonna decide and justify if its gonna be worth the extra cost. Right now Texas Speed has killer deals on head/cam packages for like 2200.
Cant beat that.
My goal is to have a REALLY STRONG street car, the cam I want to run is the Comp Cam 224 with .581 lift on 114.
My car's an A4 and I already have a nice converter. Spring is right around the corner can't wait till she's running hard!

Im seeing alot of hate in this post . I would say if your goal is only 440 hp there is no need to spend the higher price on some AFR heads. I would pick up the ls6 style stage 2 or 3 heads. I see Joseph said these has some that high with the 5.3`s but I havent seen those yet . I have seen a handful of cars with the ls6 style heads make really nice #`s though. Hope that helps . I will not comment on any other heads in this post as there wre only 2 types in the title.
