Default Patriot heads

Anyone out there running stage 2 or 3 Patriot heads? What do you think of them? Compared to AFR's?

I have Patriot stage II LS6 heads. To be totaly honest with you these heads really did impress me, everyone on here knows that the two really cant be compared but for the price & they results they produce they really cant be beat. Are you on a budget or no? If not then I say shoot for the AFR's but if you want some good results for half the price then I say go for the Patriots. Plus they just lowered their price even lower making them really hard to resist. Think about it more money left over for more mods.

Well, not near as good as some would think, but I am stoked with the results.

For the price, Patriots are outstanding. I don't have them yet but I am planning on going with some Stage III LS6 heads for my 427. I am buying them bare though and using the Patriot gold springs that I already have and some Ferrea valves to put them together. That way I know they are done right and they will have some high quality valves in there. I am also going to hand finish and polish them before they go on the motor.
