Anybody here ever bought anything from rpm outlet? I ordered patriot stage 2's from them 3 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped.
I read some pretty horrible things about them after I placed my order. If I lived in Texas I would stop by and put my boot in someones a$$.

give the heads a good month or two. I wouldn't worry. Patriot had a problem with some bad valve guides but they're really sensitive to reputation and take action to fix problems pretty fast. The worst of the problems were with guys that were just being kind of uncooperative or expected too much. Patriot heads power some nasty fast cars with good reliability. If you have problems, expect to be responsible for everything except parts. labor is on you.

Just need to incorporate a PI-NPI adaptor into the 5.4 adaptor plates. That or you can have those heads ported to resemble PI ports as well as having the water ports welded to match. The latter works w/ NPI heads but I'm not sure if that can be done w/ the SVO heads though I'm sure you could.

not talking adapter plates. i'm talking the 5.4l 2v version. putting a 4.6l intake on a 5.4l SVO would be a waste of big $$ heads.
i was thinking that since some people plug the water ports on PI intakes, that i could do likewise withe the HPS intake, maybe with a tig since the HPS is an AL piece.
