Default Patriot Performance Announcement

Patriot Performance would like to make an announcement to the LS1 community. As many of you know we have been working hard the last several months to improve our products. We have done this by changing personel, some products, procedures, and other practices. This has been beneficial for both our customers and our company. Customers are receiving a quality part at a great price, and we have seen our orders and efficency increase greatly.

For these reasons, we would like to announce effective 8-29-2005, our LS6 style and LQ9 assembled heads will be reduced to the economical price of only $1,195.00 per pair !! This price will cover both our stage II and Stage III heads !!

Our heads are equipped with the Orignal Patriot "Gold" .650" Dual Spring, REV Stainless Valves, Custom Honed Bronze Guides, Super 7 Locks, Titanium Retainers, Viton Rubber seals, and Machined Spring Bases. These parts are among some of the best products on the market. All of our heads are custom prepared for each customer. We are able to offer combustion chambers in 59,60,62,64,65,66,67,68, and 72cc without milling the head. We also offer the chambers for the 3.90",4.00",4.030",4.060",4.100", and 4.125" bore sizes. Now you can get these heads customized to your needs with valve size choices of 2.02",2.055", or 2.08" on the intakes and 1.57" or 1.60" exhausts for only $1,195.00 per pair assembled !!

Along with these reductions, prices on our head, cam, and Harland Sharp rocker kits will also be reduced. For only $1,795.00 you can get a Pair of our LS6 style assembled heads, Patriot Billet Cam, and your choice of 1.7 or 1.8 Harland Sharp roller rockers !! For $100.00 more you can change the Non-adjustable rockers to the Harland Sharp 1.7 Adjustable rockers.

Don't forget that all of our LS6 style heads come with GM MLS head gaskets and OEM head bolts..FREE !!

These prices will be available through all of our retailers: Speed Inc, Byun Speed, LM Performance, Summit, Force Fed High Performance, Scoggin-Dickey, Combination Motorsports, Exotic Performance Plus, LAPD, WS6 Store, F Body Motorsports, Pace Performance, More Performance, Eckler's.

Compared to the fact that a stock, unmilled, unported set of used LS6 heads (with crappy springs/retainers) runs around $800, this is a killer deal! Good news for the LS1 community.

What is the difference between Stage II and Stage III?? Valve size?

Possible to have mine bumped to Stage III since you have them??
If so...

We have always believed in giving the customer a fair price. There is no need in overcharging customers.

We appreciate your concern.

Not Chinese....USA casting

Wait till you see what is coming next.....


BTW, there will be a 3-4 week lead time due to the number of orders we currently have. 4 machines and 3 shifts just can't keep up.

Sounds great, very good price. Especially considering everything that is offered with them!

One question however, how are you changing the combustion chamber size w/o milling? Are you adding metal to the chambers? (Just wondering, Brandon)


Why can't people just appreciate a company offering a cylinder head at a good price?
Keep your bullshit, non constructive posts to yourself. Its doing nothing here.

Yes, we pre heat our heads, weld the chamber to a small size, re heat treat the head, and CNC machine the chambers to the size that our customer requests.

Sounds great! How much more for hand finishing?
I have a set of the LS6 stage III on my 571 rwhp 432 stroker and they work great. I need to buy another set with 72cc chambers for the PTK turbo setup I am getting. Thanks Gunner

We only do the hand detailing of any witness and bowl area. We don't do a true "hand finish". FFHP does a great job of hand finishing our heads at a reasonable price.

I am curious about that as well. Hey Gunnar, are these updates on the website as well or this an LS1Tech and others deal only? Are ya'll not offering the Patriot shaft mount rockers anymore? Would you recommend the LS6 style heads with a specific chamber over the 5.3 style?

That is damn impressive.
As said above in compaired to a stock LS6 head that will flow less, have shitty springs, stock valves, etc this is a AWSOME deal.
Good work Gunner.
The question above is a good one about a better head.
I also have a good question.
If your using 4 machines for 3 shifts per day, people already feel they are geting a good deal. Why would you lower prices?
Lowering prices might get you a few more sales but as you get more sales you will have more downtime. Now your loosing sales that you could have had because of long wait periods for heads. In the long run the benifit is nothing. This is just my oponion, but is something that I am sure you thought about and can provide a answer to.
Price is alreay great, to lower it to get more sales when there is already a 3-4 week wait dosen't make since.

Hey Gunnar,

Great deal! What heads would you recommend for a stock bottom C5 with LT's, LS6 intake, CAI, etc., and a G5x3 of F13 cam? I don't want to have to spin the motor above 6500. This is an M6 C5. Occasional DD. Never tracked but driven with "spirit" on the street. I want to keep the CR about 11:1

Thanks.
