These are our own aftermarket castings that we will be producing. We are hoping to have them ready in the next 6 weeks or so. They will be available in 3 different runners sizes, have a thick deck, strengthen rocker stands, be 100% CNC'd, etc. These will be available for $1795.00 per pair, assembled.

I have tried to find more info on these heads with the search feature, but get no specifics. Doesn't anybody have any numbers on these yet? At least projections from the manufacturer. I'm getting pretty close to buying time, so I'd like to be able to consider this option.

Regarding projections from the manufacturer, Gunnar does represent Patriot and he is saying that the heads are in a pre-production state at this point. I'm sure that when the time is right Patriot will provide specific information on production parts. However, it's premature to speculate on production parts when they are awaiting production castings, etc.

Any new news? I’m in a holding pattern. I like what I hear about the Patriot Stage II LS6 head. I’m wondering how much better is this new head will be?

You guys must be pretty excited about that. With all the credibility you've built up, and the great responses from your other products, the Predator heads are sure to keep Patriot moving in the right direction. Awesome! Congrats!

I would expect 8mm standard length valves, ranging from 2.02-2.08. Stock bore and 4" bore setup. Runner sizes being 205, 220, 245 if I remember right. You should know what springs they are going to run, patriot gold.

These valves will be available. Bore sizes will be 3.905"-4.125" and there will be several chamber choices. The springs will be the best on the market.... Patriot Gold duals.

We will have some info soon.

Wow, shoulda realized the springs
I'd like to see these things so I can figured out what compression I could see with a Trex and the 220s.
