Would ls6 heads ported and polished be good with this cam?Patriot Performance GM LS Series 226/226 .585/.585 112 LSA. If not please give me info on a good head.

 

It's more about the port job. LS6 heads are nice for factory castings but a bad port job will screw up any head. But yea, that would be a pretty good setup for a DD but I would just go custom.

 

ls2/ls6 243 heads are excellent choice,
i prefer them unported, since they are low priced.
they flow more than enough for a street car with cam and bolt ons and ls6 intake.

 

Patriot LS6 Stg.2's 64cc with .040 cometics!!!!!!!!!!

 

if i get ls6 heads do i need to change the springs, pushros, and rockerarms or what.

 

go with patriot performance H/C setup. i believe its there stage 2 LS6 heads with that 226/226 cam.

 

no need to really change rocker arms..but if you are doing a h/c setup you should change your pushrods, the heads should have good springs or you could upgrade them to duals.

 

So If i go with the ls6 heads are those springs good with that cam

 

I got the stage II ls6 heads from speed inc and they came with patriot gold dual springs..good to .650". Where were you getting these ls6 heads from? If they didn't have duals I would get some because like me chances are you won't have that cam forever. I went with a bigger cam and I didn't have to worry about getting new springs thanks to the gold duals.

 

how much h.p does these stage 2 heads usually give and does anyone know how much the cam will add

 

i would think the head and cam package would be in the area of 70-80 RWHP!!! heads approx. 40-45 and cam approx. 25-30!! go with a package from them and they will include the pushrods also, maybe the gaskets too.

 

With those heads (59cc's) and a 224/224 .581/.581 112 I got 410rwhp on the dyno while wearing dr's and I still had a ls1 intake. Speed Inc set me up with everything-pushrods, gaskets, etc.

 

What heads are those the ls6 heads? Would i flow more through the ls6 heads or ported and polished ls1 heads?

 

I got the Stage II cnc ported heads. LS6 over ls1.

try this ^...hopefully the link works.. if not go to www.ls1speed.com then valvetrain/heads section and look for patriot heads.

 

Are the patriot performance heads better then the stock ls6. Whats the power diffrences?

 

pp heads are 243 cast heads, they just work them over

 

I found a deal online today for ported and polished ls6 heads brand new for $600.00. It comes bare but whould these be worth it to buy or no?

 

Not worth it imo, then you have to run around and piece everything together, I would just buy some ready to go heads

 

true...

 

Do i need a torqueconverter with this cam?
