I have never seen Gunnar once talk bad about another sponser. I don't understand why a company would make such a comment about another company, I think it is very childish and very unprofessional. With that being said thumbs up to Patriot for offering such a good price on their products.

Gunner,
How well do your heads stack up against the more expensive and popular AFR 205. What about power numbers? Have you done any dyno testing you might can share with us like Tony has done?

Sleep on it.

I am currently deployed out in the desert, how long will this price last? I'll be back in the states by X-mas.

Your sound like a moron. Chinese castings? WTF are you even talking about. Looks like someone is a little jealous that Patriot is about to sell a crap load of heads, & not buy your "et performance" heads. Now go mess with someones elses thread!

It's all about Horsepower per $$. At this price, It's going to be a hard product to beat for damn sure.

Not to start anything, but quality and "you get what you pay for" are equally important to many people. Nothing against patriot personally as I have never done business with them, but with all previous bad press people WILL still have doubts in their minds.

Hopefully patriot will have proven itself by the time I can afford heads so that I have one more economically priced option.

You folks can say what you want about Patriot, but every time I talk to Gunnar on the phone he is about the nicest guy. Not to mention the fact that he knows what I do in my spare time. Another thing, their flow numbers dont blow away alot of other companies, but they are in the hunt. The fact you can get your own custom bore size and upgrade to whatever valve you want is a great deal, not to mention, head gaskets, bolts, and good double springs. Gunnar I'll talk to you next week about getting some more valves.

The opposition is running out of excuses to buy their products over Patriot now. With the PP Gold springs, REV valves, new castings, and this absolutely killer price, it just puts them in a class by themselves.

You guys are really socking it to the competition. Dont stop. I can see it reaping huge mutual rewards for you and the customer.

I totally agree. I would never do business with someone who acts like that, way too childish for me. Especially coming from a sponsor. Maybe the administrators of this site should step in and stop stuff like that. Anyway, Gunnar this is great news. It's getting more and more tempting for me to go for those bigger heads. That's a killer deal!

holy crap, that price is killer. for those wondering what you get for the money here's a set of PP's independenty test back in december. PP has never got into the flow wars like some un-named sponsors, so there's no dissapointment of expectations; it is what it is.


    *pic size 1280 x 960*

    Combustion Chamber
    Bowl Area
    Intake Bowl
    Exhaust Bowl
    Intake Port
    Intake Port 2
    Exhaust Port
    Exhaust Port 2
    Intake Valve
    Intake Valve 2
    Exhaust Valve
    Viton Seal and Seat Base



    *not on the sheet but the head was tested to .650 where flow came out to 303.4 on the intake and 191 on the exhaust*





    *Radius Plate vs LS6 intake on the PP head*
