Default Heads and cam help!!!!!

Looking into a VRX5 cam, but I want to do heads as well. Should I get Patriot LS6 stage 2 or 3? Or what? I have full bolt ons with a 100-150 shot. Thanks for any help. Car is a 03 Z06.

Have you dyno baseline tested the car prior to the head install? What are your power goals? Do some searching in the dyno section for power gains from different brand heads. We have sold several sets of PRC heads to guys running the VRX5 cam with good results. The PRC head prices similar to the Patriot head but features some really nice options & proven power gains. Checkout the dyno section from recent INDEPENDENT dyno results from PRC Stage 2.5 5.3l heads.

First thing I would do is set a budget for yourself, then you can go from there. No sense looking at $2400 heads if your looking to spend $1000.
