Thanks for the advice so a 3200 stall is what would work well, and just for my info what is it with lazy lobes i guess i dont understand the diff. Do they not ramp like other cam lobes? THanks

Exactly, the lobes have less ramp rate.

Bottom line, it would be better than nothing. It will not perform like the comps or the newer generation grinds.

224 is a very proven cam as is the 220, either would work well. There are some threads in the GMT900 section on converters, basically it depends on what you want, more performance or a tighter converter for the street.

Who grinds Patriot's cams? Yes, cams with lazy lobes are easier on the valvetrain, but as mentioned, they don't perform as well, and are actually harder to tune than cams with aggressive lobes, like a Comp XER, or some of their newer offerings
