AFR 225's with a big cam will make the most peak power.

Patriot heads, from what I've seen, are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. They used to be the best bang for your buck, but with TEA's group purchase sales and PRC's, they're no longer the only low buck alternative.
The car I had used TEA 1.5's and dynoed in the 460 range recently, with its new owner. The best they did for me was 458, but heck that's kick ***!!!

As to your original question I have their 5.3L Stage 2 heads. Power numbers are in sig below and I paid $1295 for them to my door. Mine have worked great for over a year now. TEA and AFR always produce good results @ ET's. PRC is pretty new out but seem to have their act in gear and make nice products.
