Wrong Patriot Heads?????

I just open my box of Patriot heads from Pace performance and I believe they sent me the wrong heads! The part number on Pace's site is 2002 for LS1 stage 2 heads. That is what the box says, but it also says stage 1. On the bag that the head is in is also written stage 1. Of course Pace is closed now, but I am a little miffed. It took me a month to get them!

Anyone else purchase any of these heads?

I didn't know Pace carried PP stuff... Sounds like a shipping error, guess you have to wait until Monday.

I hope it does not take three weeks to get them. Is there anything pace can do to receive them sooner from Patriot?

Well, I sent the heads back to Pace Monday! They are going to send the correct heads when they receive mine! The heads are in Ohio now so they should get to Pace tomorrow. I don't know if I will get the stage 2s this week, but I hope so!

Stage 2 heads are on the way! It will probably be Monday before I get them!

Turns out to be what I thought. Pace was selling the stage 1 head/part number as a stage 2. They got me a set of stage 2 heads and they were actually $100 more per set, but at $995.00 still a bargin!

So, I will be anxiously waiting on ups!
