Would a set of ls3 heads or the patriot stage 3 heads work better with a torquer v2 cam and full boltons? thoughts

That cam is designed for a cathedral style port, so the Patriots will work better.

Now if you were comparing a similar cam but one designed for square port heads, I would say it's pretty close. But the Torquer cam will work much better with the Patriots and I feel you would be dissapointed if you used that cam with LS3 heads.

The intake to exhaust ratio is very different between Cathedral and rectangular ports, I'd stick with the heads the cam was designed for.
