Question asking input on cyl. head selection

I'm looking at getting stg 2 heads from patriot performance. I was wondering if anyones running these heads, what kind of gains I'm looking at, and maybe even some convincing to try a different brand. I'm also considering stg comp cams. Even if someone could post a link to a thread thats related to my questions, it'd be badass. Thanx for any info!!!

They leak oil is all I've heard about the patriots.

That was my 2nd choice. Any particular reason other than oil leaks?

Never ran them, never met anyone who ran them. All I hear is someone who knows someone who met someone who used to live in their old house has a friend who's dog walker once over heard a guy complaining about how his little brother's wife's gym teacher's third son bought them and they leaked oil. Or it might have been someone else... I hear good things about Trick Flow's. Good luck.

Most of the reviews I read on american muscle said they didn't include oil galley, so they would of course leak oil without them. I think once those were supplied you were fine though. That being said, I have zero personal or even second hand experience with them. Just product reviews. haha

I was originally thinking about going with the set streeda had but couldn't find reviews or enough info on them. Either way I found 2 sets of the trick flows with a diff. In combustion chamber size, which brings up another question. Does bigger chambers=more gain? And what mods would it initial?

I'm assuming injector upgrade, throttle body, and a tuner. Maybe intake and Hugh flow rails.
