Wait a month or two for those of us who bought the Trick Flow heads to figure out which cams work the best, and then jump on them. The TFS heads are looking to be a major improvement over anyone's ported heads right now.

So i would buy the trick flow heads or pat. Heads and have the cams installed. That is that correct? Or are the stock pi heads good enough with the cams.

Trick flow are the ones to go for. Patriot is just a ported stock head, the trick flow is a completely different design and outflows anything around, but I think the powerband gets pushed up higher so you may have concerns about the stock bottom end.

imo i would just get a blower
for the 3000 or so plus in stall to get bout 330 or so hp
is not worth it you can take that same money and be around 400 and better drive ability
just my 2 cents
