But one way or another you and Terry are the biggest Bull ******** on ls1tech.
I love you too

I had good performance out of their heads, but I don't trust installing their CURRENT products on my car. Maybe you need to start helping your buddy port heads so it won't take 3 months for people to get theirs

BTW...I really consider it flattery when you constantly attack me and everything I do

well it might take 3 months to get a set of heads but atleast they wont be a pile of garbage like what terry used to send out of patriot. My "buddy" flow checks each head and hand finishes them.

Im not attacking you about what you do. Im meerly posting the obvious so others know whats really going on. You are totally full of ****. You helped to screw alot of people and now expect everyone to believe that Terry's new heads are better then the patriot heads. Come on get real.

Track numbers don't lie... check the sig. I could understand why you guys would be worried, but don't you think you are starting out a little early with the "mudslinging"?

Btw, Terry buys them from the same place TSP does.. Precision Race Components. Terry doesn't port the heads, he mearly buys them for resale.

Well, I have had my hands on a set of fresh Patriot heads and although they are nicely machined did not blow my skirt up on the actual port design. Granted they are priced great and probably flow a lot better than stock but IMHO anyone with a little knowlegde of port shaping and a die grinder can probably equal the patriots. I also see a trend of more LS1 guys porting their own heads, since I have talked to a few myself. The word is starting to get out about these "awesome" 300+ cfm heads from all these companies not being all there cracked up to be. Numbers simular to my heads are what a few have seen when they flow their heads they just purchased on an independant bench. Not that I can port a head great or anything but come on. I know dam well I cannot port heads as well as a professional but I have heard of a few sets that my heads on my car rival. Besides I have out ran a few with cars with "pro" heads even with my "crappy" hot cam. I do not see the logic of a shop turning heads out that has a bench but doesnt flow every head for their customers. I port my own heads and know the importance of actual flow numbers. I wish Terry the best of luck with his shop and the thing about gomer, all I have ever read about him is a thank you from someone he helped.

I just remember not too long ago anytime anyone would post anything negative about Patriot Performance heads the ratio of people praising to bashing them would be at least 10:1. Where did all those people go.

No you havent been on here long. There is a noted list of SD's (**** Disturbers) on the site that bring up the same stuff over and over again slamming other shops to help pimp their own favorite shop. (This isn't limited to PP and other shops that sell heads either)
