Hey I know there are a million of these threads but trying to search and piece together info on a couple of specific combos is proving to be a huge headache. First, I already have a ls6 intake, pacesetter lt's, true dual 2.5" exhaust w/ h-pipe, and 4.11 rear end. It is a A4 car and I will probably get a 4000? stall at the same time as heads + cam. I am pretty much set on getting patriot stage II ls6 heads w/ 2.055 intake 1.57 exhaust valves, 59cc chambers. I have been reading alot lately about reverse split cams, and I like the idea of making more torque under the curve. I don't really care about peak hp because I don't take the car to the track enough to really need the high rpm hp. Anyway I know stock heads benefit from a reverse split cam, how about cnc'd ls6 heads? I was thinking a tr236/230 or tr230/224. What kind of difference would I see between these two? How about the idle? I would like a mean choppy idle. Would I be better off with a traditional split cam with theses heads? Also I would like to mill the heads, but how much can I take off without having to get shorter pushrods and/or flycut the pistons? Any help or pointers here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Why are you talking about below the curve torque with a 4000+ stall?

See thats why there's a ? after the stall. I haven't decided what size to go with yet. Just looking for a bit of advise.

Reverse split cams are great cams and make awesome power. TR230/224 is plenty and has great drivability. I believe it is ground on 111lsa. It will have a rowdy idle. 4000 stall is more for the track than it is for street. What are your plans for the car? If it is a DD then I would say 2800 stall. Stage II patriots do not need to be milled anymore. If you mill a head too much, valve shrouding becomes an issue. If you are looking for a bump in compression, try a thinner headgasket. Cometic .040 gasket would work well with your combo. Also, you could use a drop in rearend ratio. With a good tq convertor you wont need alot of rearend gear.

The TR230 is a great candidate for what you have in mind as well as MTI X1 230/227.
If mostly street then VIG 3200 or SS3600 yank would be plenty with any gears.
But why run 4.11s for street?

If you want it mostly for the street, get something just under a 4k stall.

The only reason I have the 4.11 is because they were given to me. I don't see myself buying new ones to lower the ratio now. I will definatly look at some smaller convertors. I remember reading somewhere that a h/c car should run a 4000, but that must be mainly for the track. Do you think the TR236/230 would be too much?

Yes because of the intake restriction, better stay with the 2 I mentionned, better DCR as well.
