Default TSP LS6 2.5 or Patriot LS6 Stg2

I've read several posts and alot of people bashing the Patriots but what's the actual RWHP diffrence in them? I'm leaning towards the TSP's but want to get a little bit more info before the final decision.

Mods:
59cc - TSP or Patriot head
EPS custom grind 24x/25x
383 Stroker
25% Underdrive
150 shot wet
LS6 Intake
All boltons

What's my potential power with either one of these heads?
Do TSP have any discount codes or will be running a sale anytime in the near near future?

I think you'll be more satisfied with the power of the PRC's versus the Patriots. Aside from that, there are numerous advantages the PRC's offer and we'd love to chat with you a bit about your combo and your goals. After a little chatting, I'm sure we can help you choose a head that will meet your goals and budget!

On the virge of going TSP. For the extra 200-300 I think they're the best bang for the buck. "Nothing against Patriots"

TSP all the way! Even if the two products were identical, their customer service is some of the best I've ever seen. When I'm spending a good amount of money with a company, solid customer service is just as important as a quality product.

I would suggest the prc 215/227 head and a fast intake.

Sounds like it should be a pretty nasty combination... how much dish on the pistons? That's a pretty large cam for 59cc heads. Remember to check PTV clearance. I'm curious on how your results turn out. Good luck with it.

.-6cc Mahle. Believe me i'll be checking the PTV clearance. I'm hoping for at least 470-490rwhp. Thinking the LS6 intake is going to hold me back a little though.

Not exactly the most precise way of measuring PTV...but I would assume with the -6cc dish you'll be ok.
