Default I got a chance to check out Patriot heads shop yesterday

What a place, thank you Terry for the mini-tour.

You guys don't know me, I don't post over here very often but I bought a set of Patriot heads and had a problem with the #7 spark plug being too close to the header, I wound up having to pull the heads.

Yesterday I went on a roadtrip to Patriots shop to check things out and try to resolve my problem, Terry is definitely in the business to make sure every customer is satisfied, he's going to have a set of heads made for me with the spark plug holes offset a couple of degrees to clear my headers.

He warned me it may take a couple of weeks to get these but be on the look out for my next post, I hope to be close to 500 RWHP

If it's the same runamuk from CF, then he's got a Magnusson on his C5

Always hope for the best. Maybe even higher. How much boost?

The headers are FLP

And yes, I always hope for the best. I'll probably get around 480 RWHP but I'm still hoping for 500. The bottom end is stock with the exception of a mild cam best suited to the Magnacharger which is non-intercooled (for the time being) and pumping 6 psi, other than that I've got the patriot heads and FLP headers.
