im thinking of running the 403 cams after lots of thinking and reading. i am wondering if i keep the stock rev limit would i be able to get away with stock valve springs/retainers or no. i have done a lot of research on this topic and i cant get a definitive answer. so i am asking you guys

Can you get away with running the crower 403 cams with stock springs if you utilize the stock rev limiter.

 

i had afriend with the stage 2's did him good but i have them in my car i just got it running today and my **** knocks hella loud

 

well i just redid my valves they sound better i but i still would suggest the valve springs and retainers though...but damn it pulls hella hard

 

damn that must be hella crazy....

i`m using the brain cower stage 2 on my ls with stock springs just make you adjust your valves right i adjusted them to the lowest it say for adjustment i`m going to get the dual valve springs so i can go to 7500 8000 rpms

 

You can use the stock valve train and keep the stock rev limit - but that would be defeating the purpose of the cam. If you do that, you car will only be louder, idle a bit lower (you can adjust that) and not be any faster. My 1/4 mile times confirm this. One thing the 403s will do is drown out the sound of your intake whistle...

<-- has 403s, stock valve train, stock rev limiter.
