Click on my signature and look on my web-page for mod details. I drive my car daily and rack up lots of miles. Perfect blend of balanced power and refinement IMO.

Talk to any of them. Jason, Jon, Zach. Doesnt matter. I got the PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads with the MS4, spring upgrade, all seals/gaskets, ARP Crank bolt, Gears Motive 4.10, master install kit. Under 2300. They made 550 Crank HP with that setup.

speed is a matter of money. How fast can you afford to go? I'd go with AFR's. If you don't ahve the money for good heads, then you need to keep saving your pennies.

alot of power has been made without the all mighty AFR's i think a good patriot setup would net you where you are trying to be... and of course the N2O will always get you what you want!

Yeah i almost have full boltons with the exception of the underdrive and the ls6 but those will be on before hand, but waht im looking at is the 2.04 2.055 valve on the intake side witha milled 59 cc combustion to raise compression does anyone know what kind of relief id have to run on the pistons to run a 232/234 595/598 cam ??? or if you have any other suggestions that would be great i have a friend running similar to this combo with 468 rwhp through cats

0RWHP and 0RWTQ right now. I am waiting for my heads (should be here mid of next week) to get here. I still havent got the setup up and running. Been busy at work. But from what I have heard, the MS4 can be tuned to be streetable.

True, but the title said 470 rwhp NEEDED!!!!. Probably not many if any Patriot combos making 470+ rwhp. This is a case where spending the extra money will get you closer to the goal. Of course, good heads alone won't get you there. Proper intake, headers, catback, cc chamber size, head gasket size, cam size and tune all have to work in harmony with the head choice. The fine details are what will get you the extra 20-30 rwhp over just bolting up a set of heads and a one-size-fits-all cam.

you're probably going to need a fast 90/90 also to break 470. That's pretty expensive. I had a cam ground for me, ordered the Patriot heads on sale, underdrive, and have the long tubes, ory, exhaust, lid, LS6 intake, home ported tb already..

..I'd fall over dead of shock if it breaks 450. I'm also trying to do this on a budget.

on a mustang dyno i put down 463/402 with GTP stage 2+ heads and a T Rex cam. M6 car going through a strange 12 bolt w/ 4.11's spinning 315 tires. I'd like to see what it is on a dynojet. As said above...speed costs money...those heads were $2,800 but luckily i got them at the performance shops cost since i've done a tone of business there.
