i would consider other heads than patriot. trust me i have never heard anything good about them and ive seen a few set that it looks like the cnc machine had a seizer in the intake ports.
you would be better with your stock heads but getting them ported and polished with like a 5 angle valve job.

putting a forged crank in an ls1 is like putting seatbelts on a couch.
