I have spent the last 2 hours or so reading past postes reference this(head/cam combos) using the search button and I like what I am reading about The Patriot stage II LS6-style cylinder and the TSP 231/237 from TSP...but I am sure that there is other alternatives to those products...I have read a few posts about select individuals who had some sorta clearance issue with valves??..could someone expalin what thats about and has TSP taken that into consideration when building the new heads? or wil I have to alter or change or do anything before these would go on?

Hey man! Sup! There are so many combos out, you just almost have to flip a coin and pick one. The Patroit h/c combo that TSP sells seems to be a solid package. I personally like their 228/228 cam over the 231/327. Helped a bud put in a G5X3 cam and PP LS6 style heads and it screams. Has an insane lope too. That would also be a good combo. Either of those setups would get you well over 400 streetable rwhp. Come on up here to Bragg and we'll get it in! Good luck!
