Default Patriot heads questions.

Well they are sitting in my room waiting for next week I was wondering if any one that has them has had them cleaned up more it seems to me they could be a little smoother. Is it worth the time and money or should i leave them be?. Also while I'm writing how hard is it to remove the pcm have to send it to texas speed just wondering the best way to do it.

I believe Patroit now offers to hand finish their CNC heads for an extra charge, give them a call.

Probably not worth messing with but may as well call Terry at PATRIOT and talk to him about your concerns, questions and he will take care of you as his customer service is awesome from what i have seen. :cheers:

Leave them be, unless you want every last bit of horsepower out of them. Just remove the PCM, call up Jason and let him know your shipping it, them buy plenty of bubble wrap!

I didn't inspect mine as much as yours becuase they were in a shop and there were 3 sets of them, one for each of us guys that got them. Mine looked pretty nice though. I wouldn't worry about it. Some haven't got great #'s with the patriots, but they are working well in my combo. I tested them in the 1/8 with my new set up and a 7.15 isn't too bad :cheers:

I got the 59CC Chambers to increase compression :yesnod:
