Are you comparing Patriot stage 2 heads to TFS heads and their Stage 3 cam?

If so, there's really no comparison if ou can justify the price. TFS all the way.

There is some truth to that. Is there a price drop in the TFS heads that I was unaware of?!! If so sign me up for 2 sets!

As stated your looking at different ends of the cost spectrum.
If you have $3500 for the TFS heads and new rockers you'll need then thats the combo for you.

In the end you still need to research the results to justify the money. Is the TFS combo really worth it in power to cost over the Patriot combo. Only you can decide that for yourself.

I did a combonation of both. I did patriot heads and trick flow stage 3 cam. Im very happy with my results. However I would have bought the trick flows if I had the extra money. Im happy with my patriots though no complaints here.
