Default pat g 230/236 or isky 240/246 108lsa

Sup guys i have a 6.0 going into my camaro next week. I do alot of street racing and track so its 50/50. I have 2 cams on my shelf a custom grind pat g 230/236 112lsa and a 240/246 108lsa they will have a set of ported ls6 heads milled down to 60cc's. Which cam will fit me best. Its a 6spd car. I dont care about drivability. 4.10 gears in the rear. thanks

Hope you plan to flycut because neither of those cams are going to fit with 60cc heads.

I think the PatG cam will have PTV clearance with 60cc depending on what gasket he uses. It will be tight but his intake side isnt too high in duration, which is the side that would need more clearance. OP, go with PatG cam no question.

I beg to differ. It would be a close fit even if the heads were 62cc. I traded off a set of AFR 205 heads with a 230/236 112 LSA cam and that was very close. The AFR heads yeild a little more PTV clearance too. If it were me, I'd measure and be ready to flycut.

On 62cc? Damn what head gasket were you running? I used a similar in duration cam with my AFR 205s and stock thickness head gasket and had plenty of room. Perhaps plenty of room is subjective. How much PTV did you have?

They were the heads and cam I traded, so I'm not sure what the exact clearance was, but I know he said it was close on the intake side. You may be right and it will probably be ok, but you don't want it to be too close and then miss a shift and be up **** creek.

Absolutely. Always better safe than sorry.

If those heads have stock valves in them I don't see it being an issue at all with the small cam. The ICL will play a role in this. The more it's advanced the more intake ptv you will lose.

Thanx for the advice guys. And yes the ls6 heads has stock valves. The previous owner said he ran them with his ms4 no flycutting but im going to check for myself with my cam. I would think it would fit no problem

I'm in for results on this one.. I'm running a set of 59cc heads and looking for a bigger cam. I know all cars aren't the same, but still curious. GL with build man..
