Default Anybody running the Patriot 226 camshaft?

I've waded through a bunch of posts after running a search and just can't seem to find much evidence of anybody running this cam. Is there any reason for that? It seems like it would be an excellent choice for a cam only street car and is inexpensive to boot. So what's deal? Why does it seem like nobody is running this thing?

If anybody is running this in a cam only setup, especially a 6 speed, let me know what you are running and/or hp/tq you are seeing. I'm contemplating this cam or a TSP 228R or Torquer v2. I can find tons of info on those two cams but not on the Patriot. Somebody help me out!!!

there was a vid of the 226 cam vs. ms4 from a dig, and that 226 pulled that ms4 cam. seems like a good nice cam.

Any other feedback? This doesn't seem to be a popular cam. I may have to buy it just to be the experimental subject!

I did a search! I'm looking mostly for track times. So far, nothing. Even in those threads you guys posted links too. Three people total posted dyno numbers. One person says their times are in their sig (for a 5.3) but they aren't there.

I may not post a lot but I'm not a noob! I guess I'll just run another search for Patriot 226 and read every post in every thread.

I run it and wouldnt trade it for the world!!!! it sounds like a beast but drive REALLY well and im on a mail order tune.....I also ran an MS4 and beat it from a dig....altho he returned the favor and spanked my ***...lol....any little spin on his part and im gone and he wont catch me...1 race we left dead even out the hole and kept even until 3rd when he pulled away, ended up taking me by about 1.5 cars or so....Theres a clip in my sig of it idleing untuned thru my old exhaust set up with a cutout. Sorry not times as i havent made it to the track this season yet.
