Default PRI Show

Patriot Performance would like to thank all the people who came by and visited us at our booth during the PRI show. It was great to be able to put a face with all the phone calls. Due to the large quanity of orders that were taken during the show, we are now running 3 shifts in order to increase production and speed of delivery to all of our customers.



As you know by now, in recent months we have made "re-arrangements" in our personel. Because of these changes we have been able to make many improvements in our quality, speed of delivery, and customer service. We would like to thank all of our customers who took the time to make an informed decision about the purchase of our products.



To expand our products past the limitations of OEM castings, such as the 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, we will soon be adding our own custom LS Series casting to our line up of OEM heads. There will be several versions of this head available including an "as cast" version with a very small runner, all the way up to a fully CNC'd larger "max effort" version. This new version of the the LS head will be competitive with other aftermarket castings in all aspects, especially when it comes to the price.



In closing, we would like to say thank you to all of the people who have supported us and we look foward to providing quality products to customers for many more years. Don't forget; Why pay more, when you don't have to.

What the heck is an LS casting? Are you working with edelbrock or some other manufacturer?

Gunnar, that Patriot LS casting sounds interesting.
Also, at one point you mentioned ultra light titanium valves being in R&D right now....

In the near future I imagine inexpensive PP-made LS casting heads, with ultra light titanium valves. That, with some PP duals and titanium retainers will yield a very reliable, and long-lasting setup. Any comments ? or am I getting too close for now ... ?

This will be our own designed performance head for the LS series motors.

So you're casting your own heads, that's awesome. We need more competition in the aftermarket head area. Any plans to make a c5r style head that could be used with the ls7 intake?
