quick question, patriot head and cams
Wednesday, August 23, 2006 9:42 AM
i searched and found nothing, might be a dumb question

patriot head....stage 2 w/cams http://www.lmperformance.com/5294/22.html

i have an 05 sunfire 2.2l eco

how is this head for boosted applications?

how are those cams for boost? good? horrible?

I can't say from experience but I'd wager that anything which can improve flow is god so the head would be a great idea.

I only found info for this head in other forums, thats why i was not sure if it was good for boost or only NA...

I like that everything is put together already and that i would just have to swap the heads out... or whoever is installing it...

whats the usual wait on this item? if i order it say today? a week? a month? just wondering!! Thanks

Call LM/Patriot for a more accurate timeframe of availability. I am getting a stage 2 head and cams upgrade along with darton sleeves, srp 8.9:1 pistons, eagle rods, arp head studs, and much more.... We're looking to push 500hp or more by early next year.

nice!

how much more boost can you push with those sleeves? as opposed to without them?

i called all places and they all said 2/3 weeks

by cam upgrade are yoiu referring to the comp turbo eco cams?

darton sleeves are good till like 800-900 hp when I talked to them last.

the patriot stage 2 head will do nothing for an NA motor, too much flow. There are 2 guys around me locally that have the head and neither saw mroe then 5 or 6 whp.

With boost it would be totally different

^^^ yes I am getting the comp turbo cams for the Eco And he's right about the HP rating for the sleeves. I intend to take it all the way up to the limits with the right parts. My only concern is the crank though. Some say 500hp is the max and others say 1000 hp is the max which I think is a little high for a stock crank...lol I'll have to take a look myself I guess!
