I am not impressed with the Patriot Heads, I have only seen a few combo put up decent RWHP numbers. AFR headed cars are hit & miss & TFS head cars seem to always put up impressive numbers

it's the heads. 
not impressed by there heads at all. but the numbers are very typical from what i saw, and compared to a combo i did for a customer once. how big is the camshaft?

You just bought a couple of off the shelf parts that were not made to work optimially with one another. You are therefore leaving hp on the table.

Obviously it wasn't the heads. I dynoed 357rwhp and roughly 340rwtq cam only, added a ported throttle body and some Patriot Stage 2 5.3's, got it tuned, and put down 415rwhp, 408rwtq. Did I mention I'm auto? I'm happy with the Patriots, especially for the money I paid. I'm sure when the OP goes back to the dyno he'll put out 430+ pretty easily. Enjoy it man! I know I will. =D
