pac 1218's or patriot golds?

i cant figure out which one to get. its for a 383 lt1 with a HR of approximately .600 lift. shouldn't see much past 6400 rpm because of the nitrous.

patriot kit:
https://www.patriot-performance.com/...&cat=52&page=2

pac springs + $150 for the rest of the hardware
https://securehost98.hrwebservices.n...&productId=183

i hear good things about pacaloy in general but the patriots are cheaper, and on paper look pretty much perfect for my application, and i haven't heard anything bad about em other then being made overseas.

so what do you guys think?? im on a budget but i don't wanna skimp on quality one bit.

suggestions?

Patriots with the heavier 11/32 LT1 valves. My PACs caused me massive valve float and the motor petered out at 6K RPM.

I have never really liked beehives, so patriots get the nod from me.

Patriot Gold Extremes here, that just replaced some beehives, that replaced some 987s. This small Joe O. cam is an angry little bugger!

Lloyd recommended and sold me these patriots https://www.patriot-performance.com/...2&bestseller=Y for my setup in my sig. Make sure you install them at 1.780 spring height (Recommended by Lloyd).
