The Patriot LQ9 Stage 3 heads would be a great way to go for the price you said you can get a set for. The Patriot Gold valvesprings that come with these heads are some of the most popular valvesprings on the market. These valvesprings are good for .650 lift. Bob

Let's talk about Cam selection:
9:5:1 compression 408c.i. LS6 intake, 245cc TFS heads (70cc comb. chamber) F1-C, LG Pro longtubes w/cats and borla stingers, 3200 converter and 3.42s. The car is a full weight true street car. An honest real street driven, pump gas car that will only see 6500-6800 rpms a handful of times. I'm going to set the limiter at 6800. I'd like decent street manners but I do like a rowdy cam.

To the top, all engine specs are set in stone..just need a cam.
If you're wondering, "Why the ls6 intake and 1 3/4 headers?" It's because I already have them and I don't want to spend anymore on new ones.
