Head recomendations....
hey guys, im lookin to upgrade to a g5x3 and am looking for a set of heads to go with it. right now im looking at the patriot ls6 style. mostly because i know i can get the 11.3 cr and still run that cam. anybody got any better ideas? ive already got all the boltons and a yank st3500 but might be upgrading that to a 4000-4400.

You should talk to Jay at Absolute, his heads are probably the best on the market for LS1- LS6 motors( best flow #s + reliable). His prices are as good as Patriot and you dont here of any problems with his heads, Patriot heads with problems are the norm.

A set of Patriot heads went 10.2's at over 130mph this past weekend after the N vs S shoot out too on a 346 ci motor. Maybe someone can post up the numbers from some of the cars that were running Absolute's heads
Bottom line is.. do the research and look at the results from both companies, both heads perform the same.. one just has quicker delivery and better customers support (you can actually call and talk to them).. just try a search.

Taking nothing away from the accomplishment, but its nothing that any good set of heads on a high $$$ 346 forged high compression solid roller should be able to do.

I stand corrected, I spoke to Joseph on Saturday, and thought that he said these were "maxed out", and had work done to them at a Sunset Racecraft or something like that.... If these are indeed the $1800 "LS6" heads that anyone can buy, congrats, that is impressive. Good numbers lately, who knows, I may even buy a set of PP heads soon

You will find out that Jay is sometimes hard to get a hold of, as Gomer alluded to. Big deal, IMO. Not bashing PP, just playing devils advocate. If you're going to search the history of heads, look at them all IMO. Now, I'll be the first to say that PP headed cars have done extremely well lately, but it seems that some of the first customers were "guinea pigs", and that their product was rushed to the public, and some people paid for it dearly. IMO
