Default Patriot Predator Castings

Here are a few pics of our new casting that we will have at the PRI show. These heads will be ready for release in Jan/Feb. Some of the features are .750" deck, raised valve cover rail, reinforced rocker and spring pads. The intake runners will come in a 194 +/- porter version.

If you are able, make sure you come by an see us at boothes 1944 & 1946. We will be back from the PRI show Monday.

Are these going to be cast only, bare head?
Will you offer porting, complete heads, etc?

I am looking at buying your stage 2 LS6 style 59cc, are these Heads going to be a lot better? Worth the wait? or should I just buy what you have now?

Our new castings will have certain advantages over OEM castings. We have all found that the OEM casting could use some improvement, such as a thick deck, reinforcement to rocker areas, higher flow from a small runner etc. These qualties are what customers want in an aftermarket casting. These heads will have different runner size options which will begin with a small 205 +/- CNC machined runner. Also, these heads will be available in custom bore sizes and combustion chamber sizes just as our LS6 style heads that are currently produced. The small runner will help keep velocity high while maintaining good flow. We will have these heads ready in Feb/March. As we all know, it takes a long time to do all the R&D and testing that is needed with a new product such as this.

Our LS6 style head is one of the best values that can be found in the LS head market. These heads are built with quality parts and each set is custom made per customer order. In the LS market, our LS6 style heads will continue to produce and are a great head to use in many combinations.

When comparing apples to apples, customers will find that both our ported LS6 style heads ($1,195.00 MSRP) and our Predator castings (projected $1,795.00 MSRP), are the heads that customers need at the price they want. Give us a call and we can discuss options to go with your particular set up.

Any plans for a 12 degree head that fits with an LS7 intake manifold?

These heads look extreamly close to a new casting that was made from a company here in Charlotte. Did you design these heads from scratch? Was just curious because I have the new castings in my possession.

You can't be serious? After all the time waiting and now everyone is stepping up to the plate you are going to complain?

Two years ago what were you complaining about, NO aftermarket heads, right? and now there are too many? LOL, just funny to me.
Just be glad you don't own a Ford Modular motor, almost 14 years in production and they still have nothing.
