first off, with the skunk 2 stage 2 cams, what kind of springs retainers do i need TO BE SAFE. I know of people who have upgraded to ctr cams with stock b16a2 retainers/springs and they dropped a valve @ 8k.
Second off, i mentioned that i dont want FULL race spec. Just a happy medium between price and power. I dont need to spend an extra $300 for race headers to get an extra 3 horses to the ground (i.e 7 horse for $250-300 or 9-12 horse for 500-700). I just want a good sound, and best bang for my buck.
If and when i get my cams, i will obviously upgrade the valvetrain. No reason to spend $ into something that could blow up easily. As far as the bottom end, can anyone answer the questions about my bearings?
And for the nitro.... i wont be turboing, so can i add a 35-60 shot for the valvetrain that i have in mind? Basically im just trying to keep the motor in the car, and do as much work as possible Nothing extreme on this one.
