59cc heads vs. 64cc Patriot Heads
Hey everyone,
I'm just about to purchase a set of new heads, ls6 patriot heads stage 2 and was wondering the advantages of 59cc heads vs. 64cc heads. Just flow? Compression? They're the same price; I'm looking to buy from a member who never installed his set and is sending them to Gunnar for a quick check-up, and are 59cc.
I'm most likely going for a tsp torquer v2 cam, F13 or similar, less than .600 lift.
*edit* also, what cams will clear the 59cc head?
Thanks.

...And you probably won't be able to run regular grade gasoline. But no one runs regular in these anyway, right?

It's a big purchase for anyone. So don't be scared to ask questions. And there are no dumb question when learning something new.
