has anyone used them before i am looking into doing my top end i would rather have dart heads but a local shop sugested patriot heads, rpm intake, and comp cam.
I heard of guys having problems with them and others swear by them after they've been reworked, porting, good valves and springs, etc. So I guess they're probably ok if you get them checked out and do a mild port. Don't expect them to run like AFRs, TWs, Darts, etc. I'm betting the shop that recommended them gets a pretty good markup on them.
patriot heads are great heads ive put alot of them on friends cars and they perform wonderfully i recomend cleaning them before install but other than that just bolt them on and haul ass
