Patriot makes some good heads. I used perimiter bolt valve covers type heads when I built my motor for my 91'. I just changed valve covers. Got some polished billet aluminum ones. But I'm not sure if they wil clear a TPI set up. They would clear a minirem setup though. I did have to clearence the AC bracket a little...

I have considered , then I bought Brodix.
Why I have not purchased? I don't know. Probably because No One in this C4 forum is using it.
About the valve cover: My Brodix are for perimeter and centerbolt.
In reality the centerbolt pattern is useless, due to the external ridge of the heads.
I used TALL perimeter valve covers on my 90 with the larger SuperRam and I hae plenty of room.

I called the factory. Here's the story.
http://www.patriot-performance.com/w...03567&DID=1225
$795 plus $40 for a spring upgrade for brand new heads.
The Super Ram only flows 240 CFM according to Lingenfelter. I called them and verified that spec.
These heads will flow 260 CFM with a 64 CC chamber. They have a 62CC chamber also, I will go with the smaller one if I can get it.
I believe the standard heads are 58CC or 60CC. Can anyone verify for me that number.
I'm looking at the specs on this head and asking WTF for $800 for new heads, seems like a bargin.
The factory said that they're cheaper than AFT and others because 1. they do sinificanlty more volume and 2. they are not a stand alone company but a subsidiary of a larger company 3. they buy more volume. They buy 20,000 valves a month and more.
That's what I'm getting. Seems like a deal.
Comments welcome.

I just called Patriot and asked them about LT1 support. The associate I talked to, said that they were planning on having some offerings for the LT1 around the end of the year by November.
