Heads by Monday
I want to purchase a set of heads and cam by Monday.
I am looking at the the following:
Patriot Perimeter heads stage 2
TEA 5.3 heads stage 1.5
The TEA heads flow a little better then the Patriots. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with either brand?
Are both product so close that is does not really matter?
The AFR heads seem to be superior when it comes to air flow.
Which heads are better, Patriot or TEA?
I appreciate any feed back.

The Patriot perimeter bolt heads are $999 now. That is unbeatable. But they are an LS1 design as opposed to other superior LS6 castings. You just have to decide if 10 cfm is worth a grand to you.

Do you get more bang for your buck with the AFR?

I'm very happy with my Patriot 5.3L Stage II Racing Heads (larger REV valves, Patriot Gold Double Springs, etc.) CNC and Hand Ported for less than the TEA - plus NO core charge. I'm not knocking the TEA though - they are another great option as well as the Absolute Speed heads.
