Default patriot performance heads?

anybody know any positives or negatives on them? talked to the rep at tulsa raceway park a few weeks ago sounds like a pretty decent setup. ive got a bone stock 5.0 for now looking to upgrade heads put a decent cam in it and figure out a fuel/ air setup. think these would be a good start? would the roller rocker setup be worth the extra 240 bucks?

There were a couple threads on here a while ago about Patriot heads, they're garbage quality. You get what you pay for in this case.

Even high quality companies can ship out sub-par parts sometimes but that's freakin horrible...

honestly I saw that thread and half of it IMO was doctored for bad propaganda against the company, I've seen some rides with them on perform quite well, If I came across a used set cheap enough I'd use them just to prove their capability, but no money so no chance for the test!!lol
