i've posted the same question on another board and i gather a 50/50 respones to the use of those heads. i had considered those heads myself but i change my mind. I like the specs of tsp 228 cam ,but i would go with a set of TEA's 1.5 53l heads . i've yet to see anything negative said about those heads.

but now if want the PRC 2.5's from TSP , then get them. the pkg deal is one of the best going . good luck

Running a pretty close cam with the patriot 5.3 heads.....rest of mods are in sig along with numbers. I can't complain at all with the way the car runs. I daily drive the car and it still drives as good as when it was close to stock.

I'm running the stage II Patriot 5.3 heads on my 383 with a F13 (230/232-.595/.585-114+4) and it's an awesome set-up! Patriot heads are awesome quality, especially for the price and Gunnar is top notch in customer service.
