Exclamation patriot performance cam and heads?

Planning on doing a cam, valvetrain, and head swap soon just looking for a couple of suggestions and advice. Going to do the install my self not to sure though not to mechanically inclined but i can follow instructions.

I have their 232/230 0.580/0.580 110 LSA cam awaiting installation along with their Dual Gold Spring package. I think you will find the springs are highly recommended on this board and there are many users of their heads. Hopefully, more people will let you know. Good luck,

Glen

If you buy the heads. Have them checked for any problems before install.

As much as i want to go with the Patriot heads. I'll probably just go with the 205 AFR's

I chose the ls6 style. It is in transit from summit and should be here monday. Hopefully it was not part of the bad batch.
