Do any of you guys have them? will they raise the compression on my super charged 98 Gt? Do they come with pi cams. and lastly should i get them and put a VT blower cam in them. Thanks Randy

they don't come with any cams. and since they are ported that will help with the compression although it still might go up some. You can use a thicker gasket from cometic to lower the compression. And if your ordering heads from patriot, why not order a set of blower cams custom made for you...they give you a price break when ordering both togrther..did you look at their website? http://sites.reachtheworld.tv/waterNew/default.asp?T=505244&DID=1225

PI heads will raise your compression on a stock 96-98 GT block. Thicker head gaskets will help, Cometic is the way to go but they cost about . They sell cams and will ship everything to you completely assembled. Talk to Gunnar, he is very very helpful and friendly.
The head gaskets cost how much? when you say "they", are you talking about pat performance heads? ThanksProCharger GT said:

oops...yea i forgot to post their cost. im posting inbetween calls here at work, my apologies. They cost about $220 directly from Cometic, Houston performance has them for cheaper though.

yes search about 2 years back or so they had problems - those issues have been recognized and have since been resolved.stangman said:stay away from patriot. do a few searches

i haven't heard anything bad about them in @ a year or so. I think they fixed the problems they were having.

Thats not true. I have those heads on my car, and you know the part that failed to get my car in the shop? Crower valve springs, not installed or sold by Patriot. The heads have been solid for me, and make nice numbers in case nobody has noticedRedBullitt said:

gotta remember most people on these forums don't have a clue! So they just repeat everything they read, so if someone asks about a problem then the repeats come out from the basement. I was about to order the MPH heads but the Patriot price is sooooo good. I can get stage 3 heads and cams for 1900ish...or get just heads from everyone else.

it wasn't here & it wasn't someone who knows nothing. i'll see if i can find the thread
if you cut corners doing a build, you usually pay for it twice, when you have to have it done over. but like i said i hope they have fixed their problems
stangman said:
it may have been on mod depot or corral, i remember threads on both..but if i go with their heads/cams i'll be certain to post how they are and dyno #'s etc....and if they have problems...i'll post that as well.

like i said before, 1 year and no problems with their heads. you guys will be fine; i had another head shop go over them when my new valve springs were installed and they checked out fine.
