thanx man i like your setup what do you think about the patriot setup on the ws6 store? it comes with the stage II heads and a cam and rockers and i think the heads are loaded dunno sounds like a good deal or do you recomend a different cam? also i think im noticing that patriot and dart have resonably priced heads as far as bang for buck?

combustion chambers can have an impact on your compression ratio. For a daily driver setup, most heads under 60cc are perfect. On an N/A setup, and even nitrous, I'd probably recommend the 59cc.

Dart and Patriot are both good choices for heads. As far as WS6store, I have never shopped their. I pieced my setup together individually. I think Patriot offers A LOT of quality in port work for the money. I bought their assembled heads, and upon inspection, they were FLAWLESS. I really wish I took more pics of them before they were installed. In terms of rockers, those are probably the only part in the valvetrain u really dont have to replace. stock ones are more than sufficient for a daily driver.

Patriot offers some heads and cam packages, you should give them a call and see what they can do for your. Texas-Speed is also a great vendor, but i dont think they carry patriot heads.

Take a look around at what interests you and post some links here, we'll be glad to give u some opinions.

I drive my car 500 miles a week I'm going to be running a 228/232 cam on xer lobes, ported 243's and full bolt on's. I'm hoping to get at least 25mpg on the highway.
