Best Patriot head for you budget wise would be the LS6 style Stage 2.
Stage 3 is for larger bore motors.

TRex isn't going to be that daily driver friendly.
Check this one out...

ONEBADZZ cam sounds awesome do you have heads, who is your cam made by? what kind of power range?

Low LSA doesnt give a BAD idle. LSA changes the lobe seperation, which moves the centerline in the intake and exhaust lobes. a low LSA gives more power down low and broadens the power band. it also creates more of a vacume in the intake, making the idle "lopey" its not a bad thing, some people like the sound....
more of an LSA, like 114-116 lowers the power level, reduces the vacume at idle, and will give less low end torque and power, and your powerband will lower.
sometimes nitrous cams have a high LSA for this very reason....

head/cam
I've been researching head/cam combo's, ran across what seems to be a decent deal with Patriot heads and cam from a company in Calif. Redline Perfomance Engineering. Anybody have any dealings with them?
It really seems that for a street vehicle Patriot heads with a good cam(which one?)stage II 11:1CR for us poor guys might be the best way to go. Texas Speed also has what appears to be a good package using Patriot heads.

Get a good tune and it will run sooo smooth. I had problems before the tune, but afterwards it runs very smooth. An M6 will run even better than our autos

installing a head and cam, and then running around untuned, is just asking for your shit to blowup. Why do so many people take this chance? especially after a cam install.....
