Has anyone used Patriot Performance?

[Curt_irocz]

Looking into buying some heads by them. Anyone use them? these are my choices, should I go for aluminum or stick with cast? I can get them for around the same price to that doesn't matter.

Also straight or angle plug? i was think angle.

Also I these will begoing on a 383 with air gap intake and 750 demon carb.

I wonder if that goes for all of them or just the lsx ones?

They are cheap. You get what you pay for when it comes to heads.

I know. Im just looking for a good bang for my buck. Stock vortecs are $600. Patriot vortecs with 2.02, 1.60 valves, bigger springs etc are $630. So for $630 bucks..... ya know? and Now I can get the aluminum ones for about $650. I mean yeah I know there cheap, But 1,400 and 650 is a big differnece if its only 10 hp, then forget it, ill take the 650 ones

I guess there used to be some quality control issues with them, so there is some negative (perhaps rightfully so) publicity about them.

However, I got some aluminum L98 heads from them, and they are flawless.

I don't know about their heads, but their valve springs are awesome!

I plan to give them a try when I do my engine swap. I don't know for what engine yet. I will probably take them to a machine shop before I install them. Can't a set of aluminum heads for $600 fully assembled.
