Gunnar, I was thrilled with the performance of my all Patriot H/C package I installed last summer on my C5. Apparently, so was someone else as my car was stolen a couple of months ago!

Anyway, I've got a 05 C6 as a replacement. Last time you recommended the 5.3 heads to me and you were right. What would you recommend for the Ls2? I daily drive this car, drag race and take it to HPDE's.

Thanks! Joe G

We talked to the foundry last week. Our first run of castings are supposed to be in heat treating.

We are making some changes to the molds. This will take a few weeks, we are hoping to have everything ready soon.

Wow. Over 6 months of talk. I'm ready to buy heads, and the rest of the Patriots have runners that are too large. Get 'em done, man!

It's not always easy bringing a new product to market. I've worked for a manufacturer for over thirty years and development and production delays are common occurrences, especially when the company wants to really get things right. Also, things are not always within the control of the company developing the product. Sometimes it's suppliers, raw material availability, etc. Along this line, just consider the similar difficulties that ET Performance (heads) and World Castings have (heads and block) had in the past year.

It's hard to wait. But sometimes good things require patience.
