Default Patriot Heads Win at Grattan Raceway

We here at Patriot Performance would like to congratulate DJ Racing Enterprises for their 1,2,3 finish at May's Touring Challenge for Corvettes event at Grattan Raceway. Danny and the guys at DJ Racing have been running our heads for the last couple of years. Last year their 3 car team ran our heads on one 1 car and two of our competitors heads on the other two. Last year Danny Kellermeyer's car won the TCC with our heads, so for this season all three of their C5s are running Patriot heads. From these results, you can see why.

Yes, the heads that were sent were done right alongside with all other customer orders. These heads received the same porting, finishing, parts, and valve job all of our heads do.

I'll bet Patriot has more than enough customers to make a stand for them and on their behalf. You know Im there. But I also realize it could go on and on. My business is 100% referral. I do not advertise at all, never have. Customer service goes a long way. Right on Gunnar.

Awsome results Gunnar. I replaced my TEA's with a set of PP heads and love them! I have been running them hard for almost 6 months with no issues.
