Exclamation patriot performance cam and heads?

anybody installed these(patriot cam/head)? seen couple of bad reports on a couple of threads. Planning on doing a cam, valvetrain, and head swap soon just looking for a couple of suggestions and advice. Going to do the install my self not to sure though not to mechanically inclined but i can follow instructions.

I have their 232/230 0.580/0.580 110 LSA cam awaiting installation along with their Dual Gold Spring package. I think you will find the springs are highly recommended on this board and there are many users of their heads. Hopefully, more people will let you know. Good luck,

If you buy the heads. Have them checked for any problems before install.

As much as i want to go with the Patriot heads. I'll probably just go with the 205 AFR's

I chose the ls6 style. It is in transit from summit and should be here monday. Hopefully it was not part of the bad batch.

i have partiot stage 2 LS6 heads and the 228/224 cam and the car runs super. no mechanical problems and it makes about 430rwhp with all the bolt on's. i have nothing to complain about them. the only thing i didnt run was their shaft mounted rockers because i broke one of the shafts. replaced with jesel rockers and its running strong!
