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!!!

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.

Sorry not times as i havent made it to the track this season yet.
