Default A closer look at Patriot Heads

This thread is to give people some insight on the much talked about "Patriot" heads. The info in the link come's from a reliable source whose opinion is valued and trusted in the drag racing community. These pics were taken when the heads were untouched and fresh out of the box they were packed in.

I have them and do not yet feel like I have wasted 900 bucks. I got very noticeable performance gains and the only issue I had they repaired for free... I wanted to try something different and time will tell if that was a good choice or not.

I'm glad you got the problem resolved. But there are many people on this forum that do not have the mechanical ability to change heads and do engine work. If someone buy's these heads and pay's to have them installed and they are not right, the mechanic that installed themis not going to take the heads back off so they can be repaired, then install them again for noadditonal labor cost.

Guy's buy a set of proven heads so you only have to install once.

Thanks, i actually posted it several weeks ago but me and jasper had second thoughts for personel reasons and decided to delete the thread. But since so many people have been asking about them and actually buying them jasper asked if i would repost it.
