cam size for patriot ls6 heads
Whats the largest cam i can run with Patriot CNC Ported LS6 243 heads with 2.0/1.55 valves, GM MLS gasket, and stock bottom end 346 without having to flycut the pistons? We make custom billet cams at work so skys the limit on grinds, but i would just like to not have to flycut .
Thanx
Paul

I just helped a friend install a set of Partriot LS6 heads using stock head gaskets and an XER 230/230 .595/.595 110 lsa cam. ptov clearance was tight (.076") on the intake side but not close enough to require flycuting pistons.

i have the patriot stage 2. i am having the volume of the chamber checked. i think they are 64cc, but want to make sure.
my cam, though, is going to be 228/232, .612/.600. hope it does not have any issues. your thoughts?
thanks.

thanks.
11+3 lsa, 108 ICL. i am not sure on the brand, whatever comes in the LS6 style stage 2 Patriot Performance heads. size, 2.02, and 1.57.
i am degreeing the cam. and have rollmaster chain.
if i am correct, i think if i mill to 62 from 64, it'd probably be .010-.015. so i could actually go with a thinner gasket. the milling is more cost effective at this time.
