I ran them before but sold them after about 1500 miles. They wasn't anything wrong with them and Patriot really stood behind them and helped me out when they didnt even have to. There are better heads out there but for the price, I have no complaints. I made 415 rwhp with them and a 224/224 cam.

Was that on an A4 car or M6? What other heads would u recommend don't want to spend 3k on them right now lol
im running the same heads you are asking about. i have had no issues with these heads, however im running a 224 cam. for $700 for lightly used heads, you won't beat it. toss on a FAST combo with these heads and the results will be worth it. the Ls6 intake with that size cam will be the choke point.
in order to know if your MS3 will work, first, call Patriot and ask them. they will know better than us. second, you could do a clay test to make sure you have the proper piston to valve clearance.
the numbers in my sig are where i'm currently sitting at with the patriot heads, 224 cam and supporting bolt-ons. my car is an M6.
Ok thanks man for the info, I was going to call them after I got off work today an ask, I hope the valves will have clearances lol didn't really think about that lol guess I should have lol..... The guy that had these heads had the torquer 2 cam said it worked goodQuote:

if the Ms3 doesn't clear (i believe it will), and you want to run this H/C combo, then you will have to fly-cut the pistons for proper clearance.
I believe it will to, I no its a smaller cc chamber but the heads are not milled or anything so it should be stock height.. I think but ill call just to be sure. I'm going to ask about the ms4 to cuz I was thinking of doing another cam swap here soon toQuote:
