Default Changing setup, again, need opinions.

I am thinking about going ahead and doing heads. I was looking at the stage2 patriot ls6. What CC chamber should I go with? I would like to stay as close to the stock compression ratio as possible.
Here is the cam profil
230/236 595/586 112lsa
90/90 Fast,36lb inj, kooks race headers with dual elec cutouts, The usual boltons.

mill to 59cc, try to get as close to 11:1 cr. thats optimum for the LSx motors. However you have to be careful about PTV clearance. Research baby!

Fitting your criteria for CC, I say give Gunnar a call and get those on a 64-65 cc with 2.02/1.57. The 6.0 gasket used is a bit thicker than your stock gasket.
Gonna have to measure PTV.

Other option is a stage 1 243 PP

My M6 C5 vert runs 230/236 .595/.610 112 lsa XE-R cam with PRC 2.5's, Dynatech LT's, Ported FAST LSX/LS2 TB and all the bolt-ons. Pretty close to your setup.

The heades are 62cc with stock graphite gaskets..Bad luck with Cometics.
