Default G5X2 and Patriot Gold .650" Dual Spring Kit

im wanting to match up a g5x2 cam with the Patriot Performance Gold .650" Dual Spring Kit, dart 225c heads will be fitted aswell. is this a good choice for this cam ?

Cheers

The G5X2 is a great cam. It's almost identical to the ever popular g5X3. On a stock headed engine, the g5x3 is usually good for about 10hp more up top....where the g5x2 yields a little more torque down low.

If your buying the Dart's assembled, the valve springs that come with them are better than the Patriot's.

All depends on your tune, and your personal preferences. Some people like driving racecars every day...others don't. I know people that have daily driven this cam before...didn't seem too bad to me.
