LMFAO.. This **** is getting so good that my wife is even reading it. She says it is much better than her soap operas. We need to come up with a LS1tech reality tv show, we could make millions.

blue2000.....i guess since you're kinda new here, you really don't know whats going on. so i'll let you in on a little secret, since you didn't use the search button like suggested. patriot suffered from some issues when they first released their heads, like some major issues...they resolved those(for the most part) but since then have been suffering from inconsistencies both concerning flow numbers as well as quality control. terry used to work for patriot...he left and started his own company, for his own reasons. tsp/racetech stopped carrying patriot heads b/c they did not want to sell a product they were no longer confident in. which is the best way to do business, you have to have confidence in the services/products you offer. call the sponsers or search if you want more information.

You guys are making me glad I pulled my PP heads off the car and returned them for a 50% refund and bought AFR's after I blew a gasket on the dyno using them.

Had other minor issues.
2 Cross Threaded Rocker holes. Bad Valve Seals.
Had a PP surface sealing or Cometic gasket sealing problem under boost.
Freeze plug popped off during dyno run also, major mess.

Pulled 'em 1 month ago and sent them back.. $1000 in labor later and 50% loss on the heads, but sleeping soundly at night.

I didnt edit your post, you posted first hand info.

I edited posts that BROKE THE FORUM RULES AT THE TOP OF THIS SECTION!!

The joke is how some people can't seem to READ yet are able to post on a bulletin board!

BTW I sympathize with your situation concerning your head failure.

I just found the pipe cleaners part funny.
