Patriot 243 stage II heads and Torqer V3 cam I'm really looking at buying these Patriot heads and doing this mod thing right. I'm over in Africa making good money, tax free so I figured what the hell. What kind of power could be expected with these heads and the Torquer V3 cam from TSP? Also my car has 90,000 babied miles and is a M6 car, would it hurt the motor to put a new set of heads on it? I've never swapped heads before so what would be some issues I may have? Would 450RWHP be attainable? Thanks

450rwhp...uhmm, I'd say no. That would make a good combo though. I'd say 420rwhp with all boltons...
Lot of plp have done cam swap with this kind of mileage and nitrous on top without issue, but you could hurt the engine if its spinning too high(rods/bolts). You should change that too.

It is a 01 so you are cool on the rod bolts. TV3 doesn't need to spin that high anyways. I know Patriot used Ferrea valves which have thick bases, so my advice is to measure PTV.
Since you have the heads off, degree the cam to proper ICL, I would estimate 440+ rwhp for sure.
Gonna need a tougher clutch.
