How does this setup sound? My current setup is stock ls1 heads and GM ASA cam, which is a pretty annoying cam for a daily driven car
So I don't want to spend a whole lot of money but want the best possible with my budget.
This is what I came up with so far, how do you think this cam+heads would react?
CNC Ported LS6 / LS2 Heads from Patriot

COMP Cams Xtreme XE-R Camshafts 224/230 .581/.588 .114

I was thinking of Dart 225cc heads but then these heads from patriot are like $500 cheaper, do you think it is worth that money?

those durations are ridiculous. That can't be right can it?
No, I just checked the link, the durations you want to specify are 224/230. That's more like it. Probably good midrange. Very solid cam. Should idle relatively well with a 114 LSA. Reasonable lift won't kill springs either. Sounds like a great combo. I'm sure there are plenty others out there with a 224 cam and ported LS6 heads.

Besides these heads aren't too expensive for $1100 brand new.
