Default Cylinder Heads

Has anyone on here tried the Patriot Performance Heads, How did they work out for you.... any suggestions for a Different/Better Head or any Dyno numbers? Thinking about the heads and some Harland Sharp rockers too...Let me know,Thanks

I know several guy's with F-bodies that run the patriot head's with great success and no issues whatsoever!
I would buy them before I dropped twice the money on AFR's...

They aren't the best, but they are a good head for the money.

Never seen the patriots first hand but I would stay away from the harland sharps they are heavy at the tip and also cause geometry issues within the valvetrain. I would go Yella terra

Hmmm, my HS's have been daily driven for 20+K or so, and haven't given me any problems....

I have heard that the Patriots are cheap junk though, with a good marketing program, but that's just hearsay...

With a cam that small I'm sure you would be fine with valve float. But have u checked your swipe pattern? I had 2 buddys use hs rockers and have problems.
