Default MS4 cam with Patriot Stg 2 heads?

Will these work together? Heads are LS6 style w/ 64cc combustion chamber, unmilled. Stock LS1 motor.

Is this your recommendation/ the valves will for sure hit, or have people used them w/out flycutting and had no problems?

I believe that cam will fit in an ls6, I would give TSP a call.

it will NOT fit with the 2.5 LS6 heads because they have bigger valves, it WILL fit with stg 1.0 LS6 heads because they use the stock valve size.

I'm not 100%, but I'm putting in a MS3 with a 114LSA and I've been told I have to flycut. But TSP said they can mill the heads to fit the cam. I would talk to them about it, it is their cam ya know.

TSP doesn't mill the heads but recesses the valve to give better clearance. Not trying to be a dick.

This is 100% correct!..Look into the MS3 with the PRC stage 2.5's...This can be done through TSP, but they have to recess the valves for this to happen with decent PTV clearances...Give them a call to make sure...Just going from what Jason has said and others...
