Compared to what most people run, thats definately small. It should make decent power with heads and not lope much (if at all).

Bringing this thread back to life because I would also like to know what a good cam choice would be for the Patriot Performance 2013 Heads. They are now using the 354 castings with a 227 + - intake runner. I was looking at getting the TR 224 112lsa cam, but don't know what cam selection would be best. I'm looking for a good autocrossing setup with the patriot 2013's. They should be here in a week, and I need to get a cam. Thanks guys in advance.

with the bigger intake runner of those heads (according to what you listed) you may sacrafice a little low end power, particularly with a smaller cam.

i'd look into something with a 205-215cc runner
