Put in the Patriot Gold dual's for my T-rex. Just finished the rod bolt install tonight, so everything is still torn apart.

Default trex cam what is the best head for this cam?

[i have a 2002 ws6 and i have bought a trex cam with comp dual springs and am thinking of buying either afr heads or going to bowling green and having a set of 5.3 heads ported and having the pistons fly cut,how much more power will this give me than just using the stock heads?

I'm not SMOKIN, but, I run the SVO 30# inj (36# really) at 63 PSI with my Trex setup and it runs between 82-88% duty cycle at WOT. Thats on a 430 RWHP A4, I'm betting you are close to running 100% at WOT on the 28# inj. You have auto tap or EFI Live?
