Patriot Performance Why are sponsers of this site starting not carry Patriot Performance Parts? Both Racetech and Texas Speed and Performance have stated that they will no longer be using Patriot. Did I miss some big announcement? Someone give the the dirt on what the hell's going on here.

Patriot heads have always flowed iffy at best, sometimes a difference of up to 40. (and never to the good i.e advertised at 307, flow at 267). From what I have been told directly that's why. The sponsors need quality they can depend on.

Thats what I wanted to know. I look to this site for info on parts and mods for my car, so when something like this happens I like to know why. I plan on using Racetech to do some install work for me whenever my QTP headers get here and I will ask Terry about it personally.

What part of Birmingham are you around mostly? I drive a NBM WS6. I can't recall seeing a NBM SS anywhere...except one night on 459 with 2 Z28's...

Oh great! 
Considering i have a set of PP heads waiting to go on, what can I check myself that has been an issue in the past? They have the gold springs.
They look a nice set to me, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I was under the impression that they had sorted out the early gremlins.

Best thing to do is to have a shop flow test them if you didn't already get flow results.

I don't want to nitpick, but I keep hearing PP state that they supply a flow sheet with every set of their heads. I never received any paperwork at all when mine were delivered. I'm not disputing the flow specs, just that I never got any paperwork like stated.

i didnt recieve one also, im still waiting on it
Is it wrong for me to be kind of scared to install my pp stage 3 ls6 heads with 2.08 1.60 valves and race port option? I had no questions about it before but lately there has been a lot of "not so good" talk about their heads. Just wondering what everybody else thinks.
