I looked at the whole page but couldnt find any thing say they were assembled heads. . . are they? looks to be as they have springs already but just wanting to clarify and that seems like a good deal too.

With that budget, I would call Lloyd. He is an awesome guy and will not steer you wrong. He gives honest opinions and info, insteaf of trying to sell you stuff.

Ask him what he thinks of them.

They come assembled with patriot golds and if you order them straight threw patriot they will shave them to pick up the lost compression for free! Thats what they told me when I called anyways. I was gona try them but got a good deal in a set of ported stockers.

Patriot is an american company just like AI that ports stock heads. They are more known in the LSx circle.

Wrong, Patriot is chinese crap assembled here so it can be passed off as something other than chinese crap.

Doing final assembly here and calling them "Patriot" is enough to fool some people. Some folks actually dig a little deeper though.

When pushed HARD on I believe it was a Chevelle forum their forum salesman eventually admits they are chinese parts. You can find everything I have if you just use google.
