Default RE: Problem after Patriot Stage II installation

ORIGINAL: sstang

im still running the stock cams for now.....performance wise you can definatly feel a difference when you get on it...mostly top end around hitting 4000 RPM range

performance wise its great just the bucking at a 2500-2000 at a steady throttle
How much did the heads cost, and installation as well? Is it a seat of the pants performance increase? Did you get any before and after numbers? Hope you get everything worked out.
The heads were $1400, and i probably paid about 200 bucks in parts for the installation...i used Felpro Perma Torque head gaskets since Ford cant make a decent gasket :-/ which is actually a tad bit thicker (OEM 0.25, Felpro .036 i believe?) and my local garage that takes care of me charged 12 hours labor to do it which amounted to about 700 bucks (considering they yanked everything out to do it it was a good rate). Its not a blow your load all over the dash performance but you can definatly feel the difference...i didnt get any numbers yet because i didnt get this EGR **** sorted out yet [:@]
Ive tried getting ahold of patriot performace to see if they have any suggestions but they've been closed for how long i keep getting some garbled voice mail about something in May and thats all i can understand....
probably going to have the tech try the restriction plate to the EGR valve and go from there....then im going to get my tires and hit the strip...as im currently running redneck drag slicks (all seasons on the wear bars )
so hopefully i can have this **** sorted out soon bcuz i can't wait anymore lol
