Anyone running Patriot 6.0L heads?? I'm planning out a "budget" 408 FI build if there is such a thing. The patriots look real appealing. I was leaning towards AFR or TFS but for over $1000 less I could handle a little drop in performance. It looks like the patriots flow about 20 cfm less at 600 from the flow sheets I seen.

I have the stage 3 patriot and love them, For the price you cant beat them, They went from the box check the springs and seats and went on the car. I notice a huge differance from my stock 241 to the 6.0 heads. L92 Im not sure about I havent seen boosted numbers on them yet .

I'd like to have a car similer to mightymouse. Drive it to the track, run solid 9's and drive home. I'm all ears and would like to hear any and all feedback.
Mine started out as Patriot heads and then had Livernois do some work on them and finally Best worked on them some...
Made over 1000rwhp on a 370ci motor with an S88 @ 20psi.. and ran bottom 9's...

They may not be the latest and greatest, or have the biggest pimpin' flow numbers, but I've been pleased with mine N/A so far. We'll see how they work FI once the APS kit goes on.

i'd say yea... they are a definite winner bang for the buck, since you can keep your stock intake. if you're starting from scratch, i would probably go l92/l76 ...

Confused on bore size. If get some patriot stage threes for now but plan on using them on a 427 6.0 in a year or two what bore size of the head do I want and can I use them for a few years on my 346 to drop compression. Talking the lq9 patriot stage 3 with 72cc chambers.
