If they are the variable lift ones (Gold) go for it., but make sure the kit comes with p-rods as shorter ones are needed. Basically make sure rocker kit is complete.

If the heads are not milled too much, there shouldn't be a problem.
How much mill and what gasket are you running?

If you do not know then your option is to use a dial indictor to measure your PTV.
Or contact PP and find out what gasket they send and if those heads are milled.
Other option is to put them on and pray to God nothing happens.

BTW the Patriot heads are LS6 STYLE heads and not real LS6 castings. I wish they would quit calling them that and just call them what they really are LQ4
