Hello Everyone,

I am considering buying a patriot performance package. It consists of LS6 "style" heads stg 2, and a 226 226 112 lsa cam. Does anyone know somebody who is currently running this set-up?

Patriot heads have had some problems. I personally wouldn't use them.

Benn using their 5.3 heads, no problems, good bang for the buck. They are having problems with their latest heads, call Gunnar at Patriot, straight shooter, they have stood behind their products. See sticky in this section.

Here there,

My cousin bought these heads from Patriot and exactly the same cam. He put this on his 99 SS Camaro. He got the work done by L.A.P.D and let me tell you his car sounds mean. He got the tune as well. He has had the car back for a little over two months and zero issues with these heads. The cam he had prior to this and was installed already.

I drove the car and it has awesome power. He puts out 421 HP and 395 RWHP. He also has SLP loudmouths and SLP Air filter. He has SLP headers as well. HE runs the corvette wheels in his car as well. I don't know the weight difference in the Camaro and Corvette.

Let me know if you have specific questions. I can setup a call between you guys if you want to talk to him personally if you have questions.

I would NEVER buy the "LS6 style" heads from patriot. Their other products are ok.

I know several people personally that have had these heads and have had major problems.
