patriot heads ls6 castings ported, fully assembled with dual springs and all the works flows 304 at .600 lift.. do you think this is a good setup in conjunction with the torquer 3 or ms4 or do you think I should bite the bill and buy bigger heads.?

A set of our ported 243 casting that we have on special for $995.00 will work well with this setup and also provide more PTV clearance that the 2.02"/1.57" valves.

These are what I am going to get for my MS4 car. No they may not be as good as some some bigger way more expensive heads. I dont' think you could beat these as far as bang for the buck. Plus with the stock sized valves you should be able to run the MS4 with stock pistons and no fly cutting. And you also wouldn't need to buy the springs with your cam either.

Hey Gunnar what will these heads cost when they go off the special after the 10th.

i went with patriots just as stated above, couldn't beat the bang for the buck.

oddly enough though, when i had my TR224 112 cam (and stock heads), i was at 394hp at the wheels on a mustang dyno, when i put on the patriots i actually lost 5hp with that cam???...however my new custom grind i had made up picked up 40hp on the same mustang dyno, so i'm pleased with them now
