The patriot stuff is pretty nice and Gunnar is awesome to work with! Should make great power on the new poked and stroked motor.

Feel free tp get mad at me Patroit fan or Gunner yourself but I am only stating my own oponion.

Throwing a set of PP heads on a 422 cubic inch LS2 is like throwing a 3.8L V6 in a Vette.
Why have a real nice bottomend and a decent set of heads?
I would look into something better, not saying PP makes bad heads but there are better heads out there. Check out AFR ET Performance, TEA, Trick Flow, etc.

If you've got the money, I'd look into some of the aftermarket castings, specifically ETP. Those heads will definatley perform better, but will cost some more coin. Some ported Dart's should do pretty well also.

4 the money you can't beat pp heads those other heads only flow a little more than the pp 4 the money they can't be beat

Ya, from what i have seen ,Patriot heads is a nice head for the money and any thing close to them is around a 1000.00 more. And i cant see Patiot heads being that bad as JZ'sTA said or Patiot would be out of business, and if i had the money i would build the biggest and badest motor ever built but im not that rich yet.

Running those exact heads on my 402, but mine are milled .020"

I don't have any reports yet as I am not fully broken in, but everything seems great with the heads. Gunnar was GREAT when it came to customer service as well.

Do they say any were on them that they are Patriot or do they have a stock appearance ,I would like them to say Patriot on the front of the head so people would know they were aftermarket heads.

If you spent all that money on the Aluminum 418 and then you go and put a cheap *** set of Patriots on there then you are a dumbass... Like everyone else has said, the Patriots are good heads for the money, but they aren't good heads for big motors. I have yet to see a 408cid+ engine make good power with Patriot heads. Vann aka Z'MonyPit is only making 440rwhp with his 408 and Patriot Stage 3 LS6 heads.. thats pathetic in my book.

It really depends on whether cost is the deciding factor in your heads decision. If you can afford more, your certainly gonna get more out of better heads. I'd spend a little more and get the AFR 225s or ETP 11 degree 245s. If you can't afford 2500-2700 for heads, look at the PRC (Texas Speed) stge 4R heads. These are their own castings, I believe, and look great, too.

I wasn't calling you a dumbass.. I said/meant 'IF' you spent all that money on the 418 shortblock and then bought a set of $1300 dollar Patriot heads 'THEN' you would be a dumbass.. so that means UNTIL you buy a set of those heads you AREN'T a dumbass.. yet..

25 year old punk?? hahaha thats a good one! You sound like a 40 year old cry baby..

You asked for help and thats what I gave you.. I even gave you some solid numbers from a 408 with Patriot heads.. What else do you need?

ringram

I vote for the new dart 225's

Cant find the stage4R heads on Texas Speed , i see a PRC (Dart stile) stage3

Solid? Well, i hope you know that comparing a 408ci through an stalled auto (like Vann's) isnt going to compare to the numbers put down through a m6. Lock the verter and maybe you'll see what that motor can do.

Pathetic, well, whats pathetic about a car that puts down under 400rwhp and gets into the low 11'z all day long? What do you think he'll do with that pathetic 422, unlocked brotha?!

You gave no inclination for help so you have every right to get smacked around, and dropped squeezing your ankles.

Im not defending the original pster though i felt that your words are un called for and some what indicative of your cognitive abilities.

Those heads DO very well for their price and they shouldn;t be over looked becuz they aren't the most expensive or most sought-after.

I talk to ben at G-Force, mine flowed alittle better than this set. They where flowed at LME. So I trust there results. The thing about a stroker is the power down low. See how these heads flow so well lower in the rpm range. Please, I`m not a basher of any heads. You pay for what you want to get. I trully believe also, if you have spent the money on a good stroker, spend it on the heads. Good luck with your choice, let us know how it goes.
