Default patriot head stage(s) question

looking at patriot lq9 heads and they have 3 stages to choose from.

is there any reason i shouldn't go with a set of sg 3's? w/ FI on a stock block with ecs kit/ar headers/epp blower cam. Only thing i can think of is ptv clearance.



edit - forged motor is next winters project.

There is more then p/v clearance which is not an issue.

LQ9 heads have been knows to produce low compression which may be OK for a FI engine. Even the stage 3s.

Good Luck on your project
