Anyone with Patriot heads come in

[Tony01GT]

I'm going to get the StageII heads and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on them? I see in their ad that they have(are)-
-CNC Ported
-Patriot Valves
-Patriot Springs
-Bronze Guides
-Ti Retainers
-5 Angle valve Job
I was wondering how good their springs are?Is it worth putting comp cams behive springs on instead? and is it worth opting for the Ferrea Valves for an extra $100? What is the difference between their valves and Ferrea's?
And the best question, how much HP and Torque did you gain?
~thanks alot~Tony

I don't know if many people have these heads yet, but has anyone at least found out from someone through the grapevine?

Within the following thread, you will find interesting quotes regarding Patriot's products like:

i remember all the issues with the LS1 heads a while back.

doing a search on ls1 tech is worth the read... if you like pages and pages of threads.

when i saw that Patriot was getting into the modular market, one thought came to mind: if they couldn't get LS1 heads right, then there ought to be "explosion hazard" labels put on the motors that are equipped with their heads.
