I got a 6.0 with stock #853 heads and bbk 85mm intake and a pat g 230/236 .600 .601 112 lsa in it. It currently has a 226 230 cam in it. My question is what head choice should i go with texas speed prc 2.5 5.3 heads or texas speed ported l92 head and intake setup? Will the new 230/236 cam benefit with the ported ls3 topend or will the 5.3 suit it better.

Is yours the LQ4 with the dished piston, or the LQ9 with the flat-top piston? What do you plan to do with this combo (street, strip, both)? What others mods do you have to run with this?

When Pat G spec'd my cam one of the big things he needed to know was yet heads I have. Cathedrals vs rectangular ports like very different came. Did you get the cam from him or used?

^^ Can't have a properly specd cam without the entire combo.

That cam would be better suited for the cathedral 5.3 heads. The L92 setups generally like a wider split cam from the combos I've seen.

Its a lq9. Im doing street and track. And i got the cam off the forum but its brand new never ran. I know it was specd for cathedral port heads.

Then why would you bother asking what you should get if you already know the answer to the question?

cam will work with both heads well. make more power with l92 set up. 6 degrees is sufficient split especially when the heads exhaust flow has been improved. biggest concern with lq9 and l92 heads which have a big intake valve is ptv clearance so best possibility to avoid that is to not mill the heads. you will still have decent compression. check ptv clearance. if you still happen to have good clearance, then maybe check ptv again with some .045 or .40 gaskets to further increase compression but not needed. ptv is biggest issue. trick flows are badass but for price cant beat l92/ls3 heads.

Why not ask the man who spec'd the cam?

Set of ported 243/799 heads would be a good budget head

Well i was hoping he would chime in along with everybody else

I was thinking l92 heads also i think it will makr nice power with those also even if it was spec'd for cathedral port heads. Idk i guess i'll have to talk to the man pat g lol

Agreed... he will know best.

Thats not closed minded at all. Haha. I will say Trickflow heads have a good exhaust port flow, great for nitrous. But so many awesome heads to choose from. AFR, MAST, TF's,...take your pic

Decide which heads will meet your needs best and then sell both cams and have Pat-G spec you a new cam thats tailored for your combo. The intake ports on ported L92 heads may be to big for a 6.0L but stock L92 or LS3 heads are great if your trying to make good power on a budget. This thread has made me want to build a 6.0 with stock LS3 heads, it's kind of a old thread so I'd probably still contact Pat-G to see if there's anything he'd change for your combo.

Yea your right about that. Maybe since the cam is still brand new in the box maybe me and him can do alil swappin out for one ground for a ls3 topend

One of the reasons why i prefer a shelf cam over custom!! Less headache trying to figure out what will work with this cam.

Definitely get with Pat..
