i found a set of patriot lq9 stage 2 heads 72cc for cheap would these be a good move or bad move for daily drive , already have asm long tubes ported tb throttle body spacer high flow cats and true duals plan on installing hpe c cam package 232 duration and 594 lift and small stall
depends, what r u putting them on...4.8, 5.3 6.0?
thats pobably going to be way too much cam for you!!
again depends on the application.
becareful buying anything from HPE...I had a bad experiance dealing with chuck the owner.

its a 5.3 what was your bad experiance
but what do u thank on the heads
what's a stage 2 head? What do they flow at, and at what lift? Are the heads milled?Originally Posted by 06-crewhauler
Unless you're putting a turbo on that truck, 6.0 heads on a 5.3 will make you loose compression. They have a bigger combustion chamber.
Mine - 04 Crew Cab Silverado 2500, 6.0L - L92 heads/intake - 4L80e - 4wd
Wife's - 08 Trail Blazer LT - stock - every option - slow !

I have the same cam in my truck. I like it but with no stall theres no power down low. chuck is no good, x2 on the bad experiance. if you get that cam mack sure they put the patriot springs and not the comp 918s, in my 5.3 they lasted 2 days and the motor was screwed. no help at all from chuck after spending 1,800$ with him 2 days before.
he had my tune all screwed up... with out going into all of the details, the bottem line---the guy is a jerk! not just a jerk but a F@%king jerk.
As far as your heads 72cc you will loose compression on a 5.3 i don't think you can even mill them enough to keep your stock compression.
