This is not a new SBC,,, Gunnar works at Patriot Performance, they CNC cylinder heads. Three weeks ago I recieved my LS1 CNC heads from them. The heads look great, but I will not be able to install them for a couple months yet.

The have a good selection of heads for SBC, LSx, Ford, etc.

and for 1300ish they are a great deal .

Gunnar from Patriot responded back in that thread and said they are for a carb intake so i guess its centerbolt intakes...not completely sure though. someone REALLY needs to direct their attention here as a sponsor as these heads could be huge for the price.

very interesting! seems like a solid head! not bad for the price either with those big springs and those flow numbers, being 100% cnc'd.

i'll definately keep an eye on these. its these or trick flows for sure now unless i can ge AFR's for same price

Real good deal as far as a true CNC'ed SBC head goes.

Now I want to see someone else duplicate those flow numbers.

Probably believeable, they have quite a good name with LS1'ers least as far as product claims go.

later

For 1295$, those 215cc with 2.08 intake valves looks sick, not to mention they come with titanium retainers and huge springs. That is a hell of a deal, those things would definitely add to the price of any other head on the market, driving it into the 1800$ range.

i'm very excited to hear more about these heads... cant wait to see more and more combo's using this head.

they made 488hp on motor with a 357ci with these heads and a carb intake, and 230/236 cam which i will be running in a 383 hopefully. i'm looking to make about 400rwhp on motor with HSR
