Unless you plan on having the Patriots ported, I would not get them

pretty tough to beat patriot and some PRC heads for the price.

just looked at prc heads and they look pretty good. i especially like the 5.3 stg.2 heads. they look fitted with good quality hardware and have great lift #'s for the price. i'm starting to get into the 5.3 heads, before i was into the ls6 heads, but i don't like the idea of the larger runners that they have and it seems that there to big for a little 346ci when running a 224/224 cam. the 5.3 have smaller runners that will give me better lower/mid range power than ls6 heads, and they bump up the compression of my car. looks like a good head.

I had great luck with a set of used Patriots 5.3s

patriot uses 243 castings, what does prc and TEA use? and if they do use another casting whats the difference and benefits between the others.

if you get ported ls6 heads they are all gonna be 243's no matter who ports them. 5.3 heads will either be a 862 or 706 casting
