Deffinately not Patriots. The locks are stock small locks and the retainers look a bit different to fit the larger super 7s on the patriots, the retainers in the picture have a much smaller whole for the locks. I just got done staring at mine (patriots) for about 3 hours while I put my other head on and set up the shaft rockers.

Then again, the super 7's are 7 degree locks/retainers, which is what was just posted in the info spanky put up. Kinda confusing. I'd ask Tony if they ever used stock locks and retainers in there first line of heads.

Tony told me they were Gold duals which are PRC's. The retainers are titanium, and I don't know about the locks, I don't have super 7's to compare them to. They are good to .650" lift and I have those 'heavy' Harland Sharp rockers up top and have spun to 7000rpm on an XE-R lobe with no float. So you should be good to go.
