Default Question about Patriot Cams??

has anyone heard anything bad or good about patriot cams?? sponsor>>>

I am looking for a cam for my 6.0 and I was looking into custom grinding one from comp cam... 226/226 .588/.588 112 lsa on XER Lobes..

then I came by one that patriot makes and it is pretty close to what Im looking at.... I just wanted to hear some reviews on it... but what really gets me is the price?? patriot cam is $100 cheaper than any comp cam??

If the comp cams you are looking at cost almost 400 you are looking in the wrong place. Give Allen a call he is a comp dealer and will cut oyu a good deal. I dont know why theirs are cheaper I guess since they sell direct anstead of through a distributor like comp does.

Who makes those cams for them? Ask them what lobe it is and that will tell you. I paid 250 for my cam from LPE brand new and it works like it should.

All cams suck unless they come from Comp or Ed Curtis. We all know that.

Yeah, yours sucks too.
I'm kidding of course. There are just quite a few people that think if you don't have a comp or EDC cam you could be running faster if you did.
