Need Help Deciding on A Cam I just bought a pair of Patriot Stage III Ls6 Heads for my firehawk. I need to get a cam that would best match these heads. The heads have been converted from 64cc to 59cc. I want to have a good power curve but i want low end torque mostly. Any suggestions?

i got the stageII ls6 patriot heads, 59cc, i went with the patriot 226/226 cam, i was surprised how well it work down low, its like the stock cam on steroids,
if your heads have bin converted to 59cc they most likely dont have welded chambers like the standart 59cc's? that i think limited the coive of cams for you,
23x/23X and around 600lift is thiu maximum for the stock 59's wit out flycutting, or atleast thats what gunnar@patriot sad to me

Interesting, what numbers did u put down and what lift and LSA is the cam on. I remember Predator reccommnding this cam for a really nice power under the curve and yet good up top still.

I hope you dont plan on putting those heads on a stock bore. I was told that there would be to much shrouding around the valves and that the stage 3's were meant for a 4in. bore. I talked to gunnar and a few other guys at patriot when picking my heads. They said the same port work goes into the stage 2's as the stage 3's the only difference is the valve sizes are bigger on the stage 3's. I went with the patriot stage 2's with the 59cc chambers and a 228/230 and 585/585 lift cam on a 112lsa and I put down 445rwhp with my setup. Hope this gives you some direction.
