Patriot heads yes or no?
Hey guys I am looking into a pair of heads and was wondering what you guys thought of the stage 2 5.3 heads from Patriot? I will be going with the TSP 231/237 as far as a cam. Would this be a good combo? Otherwise let me know some other good combos that come to your mind that will make good power thanks a lot.

Both me, and a friend, ran a 9'' with 4.30 gears and 27'' Hoosier QTPs and that was pretty much dead on for our H/C cars. Just off the top of my head I believe you can cross the traps at like 128 maybe with a 6800 rpm, but I may be mistaken - its been awhile.

Loko into the "hand finished" Stage 2 5.3's being offered by Patriot now. They're supposed to make 10cfm more than the standard off the shelf CNC'd.

Sounds like a good combo. I'm going with the 5.3s also for my TR224 cam. I'm hoping for 425+ rwhp after Mikey tunes my car again. Search the dyno forum as their are a few cars with your same setup making good power.
