First off, I am still trying to learn/research Head&Cam combos for my 99 t/a, currently bolt-ons and LS6 intake. The car has no engine problems, but has 105k, so I don't want to be too aggressive. The car is mostly just for the street and I would like a more aggressive sound as well, but not so choppy that it sounds like it will die at idle. I have tried searching and looked around on LS1sounds, but haven't been able to come up with anything useful to me.

I ran across this setup for sale and was wondering what those with more experience thought about it.

Patriot 243 Heads CNC'd
2.00 intake 1.55 exhaust
Patriot Gold dual springs, 7 deg locks, ti retainers
63 cc chambers
227cc intake runner

Thunder Racing "custom" cam
228/232
112+2 LSA
.644/.598 lift with stock rockers
LS1 2127R/3725R HR112+2 comp lobes

That doesnt look like a bad setup. Cant go wrong with a mild cam and LS6 heads. Probably gonna pick up about 80rwhp with that. Give or a take a little. Cam has 6° valve overlap so its going to be a noticeable idle for sure. Looks like a smaller duration TRak cam.

I don't mind noticeable idle, just didnt want it to sound like it was about to die...would the 6° valve overlap be ok for that or is it too much overlap?

It's fine. 15°+ may be too much.

My cam has 10* overlap and it doesn't sound like it's gonna die.......it sounds like it wants to kick some a$$

Alright cool, thanks for the advice guys. Sounds like someone might of beat me to buying these, but maybe I'll get lucky and be able to pick them up.
