Is This Set Up ok for Daily Driver????? Well I already baught a comp 228/228 588/588 at 112 from my buddy never installed. I am thinking about getting patriots II's cause I can get a real good deal on them. Just curious if I would have any issues with this set up on my daily driver, and also if it is streetable, and how the drivability would be? Thanks guys With this set-up I am hoping to get 430rwhp if I go with it.

The 228 should work fine with your stock rear gearing. I've daily driven my TR224 for a couple years now and it's bread and butter my friend. The 228 should be very similar. Driveability will go hand in hand with the skills of the tuner. Don't skimp on the tune after the H/C install and have a pro get it done. When doing the heads calculate your SCR and DCR and decide which gaskets will provide the optimum quench and DCR. There's easy power to be had and it's well worth the added time calculating. Most folks skip this step and there power numbers show it.
