the new issue of GM High-Tech runs through 19 different sets of heads, that will probably help you alot.

IMO Patriot heads to me seem to be the best bang for the buck, they are some of the least expensive heads on the market, and you will see some good gains from them.

It depends what stage you want.
But yeah, Patriots are the best bang for buck.

Have to agree with you PZ. Our heads are equipped with quality products and are produced just for the customer. At only $1,195.00 assembled, they are a great value that is hard to beat !!

I was in the same situation where I didn't have the money to buy the ET heads. My choice was between the PP stage 2 heads and the Dart 225 heads. Since the Darts came in at $1280 from Summit, http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...h.asp&N=400333 , I decided to take a risk and purchase them. I don't know how much longer the price at Summit will last, but if they had gone up in price, I was going to go with the Patriots.

Good luck!

PRC heads are a pretty good bang for the buck as well. Just to throw out another option.
