Man I really hope this question is a joke.
Or maybe you think its just that easy.
Pull the old heads grab some sandpaper and make those stock LS1 heads bad ***.
I see your new so do us all a favor especially yourself and read, read, read.
You have some learning to do.

Patriot has 2 LS6 heads
1- "LS6 Style" heads which are 6.0 heads with welded chambers for cc desired. Those heads have the same runner design as "TRUE" LS6 castings. Good option when you want to go FI or if you want a 59cc head with less loss in PTV clearance.
2- True LS6 "243" castings. Actualy they are LS2 heads with stainless solid valves.
The difference between those and OEM LS6 heads are the valves. LS6 OEM heads have the sodium filled ligther valves.
Any of these 2 ported offer a good bang for the buck on CNC ported options and Patriot has truely stepped up in their product variety and quality.

Predator-Z gave a very good description of our 2 most popular heads. Thanks for the good words.
As you stated, we do use an OEM casting. But, there is a lot of work that goes into to these to make them a quality, ported head. If you would like, give us a call and we go over pricing options to meet your budget. We can also give you pricing on porting your heads.

We just flowed a set of Patriot LS6 Style heads at a local head porting company. They were extremely impressed with flow #'s and the machine work. They said it was some of the nicest work they have seen, the #'s even matched exactly what was the on the supplied sheet
Keep up the good work Gunnar
