Are 227cc intake runners too big for a stock cube LS1? I'm really leaning towards patriot for my 243 heads based on cost..... and other information you guys can give me would be great. I also plan to run a ported 92mm intake manifold

That is what stock LS6 heads are (approx) Usually if you reduce the intake runner size its in an effort t build more TQ as the velocity is kept high. I love my patriots, they make good power

Forget what you think you know about big heads on small engines when you read this:

Search the dyno section very careful what brand you choose. You might check the Precision Race Components LS6 heads out also. A quick search & I think you'll find for the money they're the best cylinder head available.

IMO apply the 92/92 $$ towards really good heads. Granted it will be a bit more coin, but heads are the core of any successful build.
Take it one step at a time and buy the best heads your money can get.

Where does the PTV issue occur? When the combustion chambers are milled (I'm looking @ 59 cc). Also, how does the effect cam selection? This is the cam I'm looking into (215/230 .629/.592 117) and I'm not ASE certified so I'm really not sure it the lift it high....

To add to that, measure from about 10 before and after TDC....not just 10 before and 10 after. Those in-between spots are important.
