Not a bad price for a fresh head with new valve springs and porting..

AFR or Trickflow is better... But "double the price better"?

At they time I bought mine the flow rates were very close to AFR. Trickflow was not on the market yet.

I could not justify the extra cost of the AFRs for my build.

I saved enough to by my Kooks Headers.

I've been considering the Patriot Stage II for my 04. What CC and setup on them would you recommend using a mild to middle of the road cam. I don't want a huge cam like some I've seen people use where it won't idle under 1500rpm.

Thanks, Jeff

Don't recall the exact CC but I have a 10.9: comp ratio.

I run a 222/222/575 113 cam

Heads Cam and Headers was 407 RWHP with an A4 and 3.42s

Idles at 740 rpm and has a nice lope.

also passes emissions here in Vegas.

Then I added the Blower

I bought a set of 59cc used on this forum about 3 years ago. On my 346 with a 228/232 cam it made 434 RWHP. I now have the same cam and heads on a 418 stroker, and I'm loving every minute of it.

I had a set of Patriot 5.3 59cc heads on my coupe and loved them. I heard a lot of people tell me they were junk etc. After I took my car to the track I called Patriot just to thank them. Very pleased, I'm going to say their LS-6's are a nice product.
