You will see noticeable gains over the stock heads with our ported heads. probably in the 20-40 rwhp range. Keep in mind that if you buy a set of stock heads, you are still going to have to buy a valve spring kit. So $600 plus let's say our Gold Spring kit, $255 is $855.00 for stock heads. Since you are on a budget (and who isn't lol), you may want to consider a set of our CNC ported 243's assembled with our Patriot Gold springs and using oem non-sodium valves. These heads are only $1095.00 per pair ! If you have any questions, please let us know.

For budget heads your best bet is to spend some extra time using the trusty search button. I think with some research you'll find consistant results from our PRC line of cylinder heads. Checkout the dyno section for Precision Race Component cylinder head results. I think you'll find for awesome money you can get a consistant cylinder head that performs everytime!

Check out the customer support from Patriot and the ask me about the support from TSP. Selling heads is a lot more than just a good price, and all the hype you can shovel. To some vendors pushing as many heads out the door and forgetting about the cutomer is thier idea of good. Used to be mine as well until I discovered a company who takes better care of you.
Sorry Jason but your lack of follow up with me really didnt sit well with me at all.
IMHO from experience TSP's best head is their ls6.
Patriot is just plain better, they care post sale, do a search on that!! Patriot is a dedicated head builder, TSP is not.
My choices are as follows. Budget = Patriot top of the line = AFR Head I'd like to see used = ET

I still say TSP has the best prices and they do. I just have seen the light when it comes to heads.
Did you see what Patriot did for a customer who had bought a set of used Patriot heads from someone. The guy who bought them had a few questions about them and valve wear or something and Gunnar took them in and inspected them and refreshed them for free. Now thats customer support!
Like EFILive. I bought a used setup and it wasnt working right so I contacted them. They put me in contact with Fish tuning and he had me send it to him. He was going to check it out and fix it for free when EFILive and he consulted and they sent me a whole new unit instead. The thing was from their first 100 ever made. I have been getting 5 star support from them ever since and I didnt even purchase it from them.
Those are examples of pure customer service. I'll go to Fish if I need anything EFIlive at all and if I'm looking for budget heads I'm going Patriot.
And let me say that Green Light Motorsports GLM has been very helpful as well with the EFIlive
