Question Anyone running a cam with >.600 lift on stock heads?
What the title says.. I'm looking to get some feedback on other people's setups since I will be installing my patrick g custom cam very soon, while keeping my stock heads (for the immediate future at least).. I'm just curious if anyone has any sound clips or better yet, some dyno numbers.. -John

No, not stock springs.. I am installing the patriot extreme dual springs with Ti retainers.. Good for up to .650 lift.

See the waste of time in my sig? To original poster: I'm running the TRex v.2 in mine as are MANY others. Dual valvesprings and hardened pushrods.

You'll be fine, many do it and it will work even better if its spec'd out for your exact mods

T-Rex v.1 here... Made 399rwhp 368rwtq on a Mustang dyno before my stock ls1 clutch gave up. Car sounds pretty wicked imo.
