It's a three day GTG,and we don't mess around! Last time around we did a full turbo install,2-3 drop with spindles and bear brakes,probably 20 tunes and almost double digit remote starts,then threw in half a dozen hid kits to fill the rest of the time,also been known to do 3-4 suede headliners if needed.

You guys are almost tempting me to drive down from Minneapolis. lol. I have an Eaton LSD, Rear Sway Bar, Cam Swap, and Seats to install this spring A hoist would be nice for the posi anyways Cam swaps I like to do at home. Anyone there good at re upholstering seats black with a red inlay?

PRC stage 1 LS6 heads. They're actually a 317 GM casting with the same program as the full LS6 CNC program. The difference between the stage 1 and stage 2.5's is that the latter come with dual springs installed and bigger valves for better flow.

I did not read all too great things about Patriot....it seems they never make the power they should, they are also the cheapest though. TSP's heads seem to consistently produce good #'s from what Ive seen.

Sounds like they need to improve their packaging methods as well.

Good luck with the heads. I look forward to seeing the results.

I did the katzkin upholstery on my last truck it was surprisingly pretty easy. If you can take your seats out im sure you could upholster them with their material, it fits very well.

And the heads look fine to me, just clean it up so its not sticking up and it'll be fine.

They came in bubble wrap and both in their individual cardboard case. Looked like they were packaged well. I can only assume what UPS does to these heavy packages though....
