I've got a set of brand new patriot stage 2- 2.05 1.6 59cc head's for sale that I got for $1000 from E-bay if you want them make an offer. I spent a lung on a set of Trick flow's instead of using the Patriot's.

Keep in mind - picking a cam is kind of like picking out your own weiner. :lol: You want to go big, but not too big, and most of all, not too small.

There's nothing wrong with Patriot Performance heads in my experience. I have them on my 408 and they work wonderfully. I think the problem that people have with them is that they don't have enough cubes to use them, since PP ports the living **** out of their intake runners from what I've seen.

I'm not a fan of reverse-split cams at all unless you're going with a forced induction setup... I'd stick with a regular split duration cam like the F-13, F-14, TR 230/236 or Trak.

right, my thoughts exactly, i believe that cam might not be well suited for a n/a setup.

Heres a thought, what kind of numbers and drive characteristics are you looking for?

Something that is peaky or a setup that will get you a good swell of power in the midrange and possibly not make so much on top.

Also, do you plan on going with more CI or forced induction/spray?

Snugans310 Jun 13, 2007 04:52 PM

im looking for like 400 rwhp and im cool with that ill be happy with that

Kraest Jun 14, 2007 08:06 AM

You can do 400rwhp with a cam-only setup. No need for aftermarket heads if you're only looking for 400.

I suggest the Futral Motorsports F-13.
