Default Patriot Heads

Well I'm getting my new setup ready and I was wondering which set of heads would benefit me the most for what I'm trying to do. I have a 218/222 562/566 Comp Cam. It's not the biggest thing but my Dad's friend gave it to me so I'm gunna use it. Now I'm wondering what heads to go with. I was looking into the Patriot 5.3 and LS6 style heads (both stage 3). I'm playing on running a descently sized dual stage shot. Which heads would benefit me the most. Which would I put out most power with. Also the LS6 heads offer both a 64 and 68 cc chamber....please let me know what you think. I'm kind of a newb when it comes to heads. Not exactly sure which is the best for me....

I would go with the 243's.
They are hard to beat for a stock casting.

talk to Gunnar at Patriot. You say you are planning on NO2 and that will have an impact on the chamber size that is recomended.
