Anyone using a Patriot cam? Either the 226/226 or 232/230....they seem like a great price, I'm trying decide if I want one of the two. Speak up if you've got one!

I'm guessing the 232/230 makes great all-around hp/tq but is a pain to tune with the 110 lobe sep....the 226/226 on a 112 should drive nicely.

.If you have that patriot 226 cam doctor'd .. it is closer to 111 than 112
I'll find you a couple of dyno graphs tomorrow when I get to work.

112° + 4°?? Would that put the intake valve closing at or near 65° ABDC? When I plugged the 111° + 3° into the rough valve events calculator I got @66 or 66.5° ABDC I think. I will play with it tonight when I get home.

I want to know also on the 226. I'm thinking of adding a slp lid, patroit cam kit,stainless works headers and y pipe, and a ls6 intake with a ported throttle body. So I would like to know about the cam also before I purchase the cam

I have not seen a cam and spring package at Patriot's web site. I also don't see pushrods listed. I guess buy the cam and springs from Patriot, and then get pushrods, lifters, gaskets from another sponsor .
Did anyone get an exact LSA and ICL for the 226° cam?
