Iv seen a few videos on youtube of cars with a patriot cam.They sound pretty good but Im more about the performance.Would the patriot cam be a good udgrade or would it be better to spend an extra hundred bucks on another cam. Id probably go with the 226/226 112LSA. with a set of heads either the
PRC LS6 CNC Ported Heads or PRC 220cc 5.3L Stage 2.5 CNC Ported Heads. from Texas speed. As you can see Im trying to put together a budget head and cam package but if they wouldnt work together I would keep searching for better upgrades, but mainly right now Im wondering about this cam,is it worth considering Id be fine if my budget head and cam pack got my 380-390RWHP. I have a Yank 3600ss stall. All Mods are in sig.
If any1 can post dyno numbers from the cam or track times b4 and after Id appreciate it.
Thanks, Jon

Patriot sells excellent budget parts. If its the correct size youre looking for, why not save the cash?

J'sRedWS6

Yeah,I hear alot of talk about there heads but not much about their cams.Just wondering if anybody is happy with the performance gain from them. Wouldnt a 226/226 go good with a 3600ss stall?

id step up to the 228R from TSP

And why is that? What should he expect to gain by going up a mere 2 degrees in duration? Where does the torque check in on both cams and what about peak HP? Which cam will make more overall avg HP and TQ?

If your going budget then talk to Gunnar and go Patriot all the way. He might cut you a deal, you never know.

That is a good cam, with heads and a thin gasket .045 it should make 420+rwhp tuned + bolt ons.

Gunnar@patriot is a good reason to shop at patriot, great service, i live almoast at the nortpole so i had to have a bunch of questions answered before i bougth, and he servised me great,

J'sRedWS6

Yeah Im in that process now of asking questions.now sent him an email earlier. Thanks sounds like you got a real nice set up

PREDATOR-Z That is a good cam, with heads and a thin gasket .045 it should make 420+rwhp tuned + bolt ons.

I dont see me making that much rwhp but it would be nice to be close to 400rwhp then spray a 125-150shot to get me to 500.

With that cam and heads you are going to make over 400. I think Predator is right

Thule

my hopes are getting around 420rwhp with my set up, and i will shot at least 100 on that

I could see you making ~380 with that sized cam alone. I dont think 420 is a stretch for ported heads, tighter quench and higher compression.

i think the 226 is a good nice stout cam. i like the numbers ive seen from it. also, there was a video of a 226 spanking an ms4 from a dig on the street...

There are two of the same setups being built here at a local shop including my new one. It consists of a 228/228 113 lsa with afr 205 heads. All the supporting mods like fast 90 nw tb, pulley, longtubes and of course a tune. The first car was just tuned and it made 449rwhp and 418rwtq.just another idea for u to think of, good luck with the build and keep us updated with dyno #s and track times

IF ur talking about this video

Then thats me agianst my buddy, but he returned the favor the following weekend. He spun just enough in that race that he couldnt make up for it on the topend. Aslong as i was ahead in 1st gear he couldnt pass me...the following weekend we raced and left dead even thru 1st i pulled a lil in 2nd (like a foot) then he came around me in 3rd. He got me by atleast 2-2.5 lengths, maybe with an LS6 intake i might have stayed closer...I love this cam its a great performer and sounds way bigger than it is. At the track with the stall and cam i lost nearly a full second, and thas on a mail order tune and stock LS1 intake.

hers a video of me at the track vs. my buddy with the Torquer 2 cam

I went from running consistent 13.7-8 to running a best of 13.119 that night leaving the line at only 1400rpm..against the MS4 i was leaving about 2600rpm...The cam has alot of potential and as soon as i get an LS6 intake i will get it dyno tuned and post some numbers. In that video he went 13.155 at 108 and i went 13.215 at 103

i just bought it, and its going in tomorrow! Tuning it tuesday...i'll post my results on this thread, and in the dyno results so you can see how it does on a full bolt on, stock head car

Thule

nice to here from you GT griller,

i haw only go once to the track on my car before i started to build the motor and went 13.7@103, and as also lunching at 1500,

well my 13.7's were with all the boltons on street tires and a slipping tranny (A4) and 1100 launches (no stall) so if u did 13.7 stock then u should expect way more out of it....we are at 3800' elevation and the DA usually sits around 5500..stock A4 LS1's are low 14 seconds cars here.

most oem m6 cars have bin goin around mid 13's, my friens went 13,1 on a full exhaust m6 2002,
