Patriot's got a good reputation. I honestly don't see anything wrong with the package itself but couldn't give you a testimony. Although if i were you, i'd wait 'till Patriot comes out w/ their new cam (225/229 114LSA) and see if they would include the new grind w/ the package. Contact Gunnar and ask him. Hope this helps.

I have Patriot Performance Heads on my car... LS6 style, I've had nothing but good performance from them. Looks to be a good package. Keep us posted.

That package will probably put you right where you want my guess would be 430 range.

We just did a 226 w/stage 1 heads and it made 411 the car felt nice with the stage 2 you should see a bit more cant beat it for the price . And patriots customer service is great

I would wait for the new Patriot head and combo. Call Gunnar and talk to him. They have a great reputation for taking care of customers and are one of the more smartly priced companies out there.

+1 for super customer support from Patriot Performance. My Corvette likes the new 226° cam.

I would reqest the 59cc welded heads to bump up compression if you are gonna get these and run 040 cometic head gasket if you are not gonna run a big cam and worried about PTV clearance. Never dealt personally with patriot but the two I know who have think highly of their customer service and give kudos to Gunnar.

We no longer do the welded LS6 style heads. So to get a 59cc head, we would have to mill them which could result in PTV issues. With a 64cc head and .040" gasket, you will have aprrox. 10.7-10.8-1 compression. We have had good luck with both the Harland Sharp and Yella Terra rockers. We can include the hardened pushrods for $95.00. Don't forget we can also supply gaskets, JP billet timing chain sets, ARP bolts, everything you need in one stop. Check out our new website or give us a call.
