If you were gonna buy a new set of heads.. And found out that Patriot had a set of their Stage II LS6 heads on sale for 1,800 would you buy them? I've heard people talking bad about Patriot Heads, but I was currious to find out what everyone thought.. Would you personaly buy these heads with your money or would you be better off saving up to buy a better set? I'm shooting for an 11 second daily driver.

11 sec. time slips could be obtained with cam only. As for the heads, I did purchase them. I have had nothing but great things to say about Patriot since I started dealing with them. Lots of people down them, but I think all the earlier problems have been eliviated and the product being sent out these days is top notch.

So I'll keep checking on Patriot and if they seem to have a product i can put in my daily driver without any future problems then of course I'll use them first.

I made 474rwhp 422rwtq with the LS6 styles and have not had one second of trouble out of them. When I have the money to buy a set of heads for my WS6, I'll be buying Patriot again.

I just received my PP 5.3s this afternoon and they look awesome! I'm impressed by the quality that I received for the low price compared to the other vendors. Now if they help me put down some good power then I'll be really happy. I can post some pics if you would like.

I agree with him. Heads give u 30-40rwhp for 1800+ compared to a Cam that gives u 30-50rwhp for 400 max. Get a Cam first then do the heads if u really want.
