How are the patriot performance camshafts. I am thinking about buying the one that is less aggrssive. How much power will the cam add only. Also whats a good head package for this cam?

We're gonna need supporting mods and cam specs to guess how much power a cam is going to add.

The small one is like a 224/224 right. If that is the case then I figure 360-370 cam only. It all depends on the tuner. With heads will get you close if not 400 possibly. There are people on here that have made it, but being M6 or A4 has to be taken into consideration also. A4 will dyno lower than an M6. A4 will probably need a stall at that point.

He's talking about a shop/person that can dyno tune your car with fuel mapping software. What state do you live in? I'm sure someone can tell you who a good tuner in your area is.

If you buy the Patriot H/C kit, then it should come with everything you need including the correct size pushrods. The LS6 heads flow better than the LS1s, but nothing compares to a set of heads that are atleast flowbenched with good #'s. You can get a normal shop to port a set of heads but will never know if they are any good or not. And how well each runner flows. Plus the heads come already set up at the same time along with being ported from Patriot. There are several sponsors on here that carry H/C kits and have great deals. Pending where you are in NY, TTP is in about as far as you can go in Jersey. There are a couple sponsors that would be more capable of getting a great tune on your car.
