its not the cc its the valve size as long as they havent been milled...call patriot and see what they say or call tsp they could tell you. i'd guess a 23x with .59x lift is about the biggest you can get away with.

What size valves did you order? The biggest that I know of is the LG G5X2 112LSA and the G5X3 on a 114LSA. With the G5X3 114LSA you still should clay it to check PV clearance. I'm going with the G5X2 112 or, if it will work, the new TSP 233/239.
