Man, I just bought a pair of these heads for $200 dollars more. I'm also slower now than I was with stock heads milled .030! I wouldn't recommend a pair of new heads from anyone.

I just went to Austin Performance today and Bill the owner, is going to call Patriot tomorrow and ask a few questions (like dyno sheets for starters) for me on these heads. I called them today and it sounds like a good deal. I'm going to order them this week until I saw this....."Man, I just bought a pair of these heads for $200 dollars more. I'm also slower now than I was with stock heads milled .030! I wouldn't recommend a pair of new heads from anyone." I know that you can't just take one persons opinion but.......I guess that we all have to do our homework!!!! I will let ya'll know what I find out tomorrow.

Flow numbers. Whats the intake port size??

If your car/truck doesnt run better with more comp.... Id say you got a huge chamber by accident, bad tune, or have some other problems.

I've got a Comp cam 218/222 with lots of lift, like .566 or so. $1095 is a great deal if you've got cracked heads or something major wrong with the stock ones.
I'm just letting you know what I experienced. Trying to save you some mulla! As I stated earlier, the facts in my experience with the heads, Stay stock, mill them .030, and get wild with a dremel. Went 13.50's on the stockers, went 13.90's on the sexy looking cnc ported and polished, big valve aftermarkets.
It is TEA tuned.

They said they would mill them for free, so at least get that done.

Here is a link to info on our website including flow numbers:
