i just found a set of patriot stage 2 heads/cams for 1k...im thinking thats a good deal...but i wanted to know the quality of patriot first.. i remember hearing som good and bad thing about them but i cant find those threads and dont remember exactly what was said

i was just going to have MPH port my heads but i think this head/cam combo will save me some cash... i know MPH is waaaay better than patriot but what do you guys think?

You get what you pay for.... Esp with patriot. I wouldn't waste your time no them. They have tons of quality control issues and overall are not worth the risk... I had a set of sbf alum castings crack on me after 3 months. Bad quality casting.... Took out the motor when it did it. Buy fox lake or wait for the trick flows.

Posted via Mobile Device i was planning on it but MPH says they can save my heads so i was just goiñg to have them port the heads. that would save me a little dough in the process even though TF heads are the shat but i think a basic port job would do me just fine. but i came across the stage 2 head/cam combo and figured that was a steal for 1K cause that would save me a port job and id get cams in the process

Anytime you deal with a patriot product you are rolling the dice. I have done a lot of research into the patriot oil consumption thing and its TRUE. There was more then just a few people as they claim bashing thier product on the net.

posted via mobile device well i guess as bad as my luck has been lately and you all seem to know these heads are poo, i think ill just stick with keeping mine or going TF.. im just trying to avoid the process of them having to charge me the labor of drilling the broken header bolts out of my heads..but if i but the TF heads i still probably wont be able to by cams and if they do the port work on mine then i might have a slight chance of getting cams too...eh decisions decisions.. seems like the better idea is to at least stay away from the patriot deal
