Default patriot or cartek

which cam is bigger and better: cartek 2x (224/228 .590/.590 113 LSA) or partriot cam (226/226 .585/.585 112 LSA)?

what does it mean when it's a "billet" cam?

It's more of a proven cam with many people getting good results. I tend to lean towards tried and true setups that consistently put up good numbers. It involves a little research but takes the guesswork out of getting a setup that works properly.

Of those, get the cartek one. 224/228. Buddy of mine runs the exact same cam with Comp 918 springs... Makes good power and drivability,
