Does Portflow deal direct with customers?
Hello-
Im looking to get some valvesprings/retainers from portflow and was wondering if they deal directly with customers? Instead of waiting till tomorrow during finals day to call, I wanted to see if any of you knew.
Im also *again* debating amoung the setup. I have a day or two to decide...I think Im going to get the Supertech valves, or type r valves, and portflow inner/outer & retainer kit.
Can I get like Ferrea ex valves, and type r intake valves? Or is that just a **** poor idea.
Im using gsr cams, and dont plan on revving above 8k or so. Any ideas? I can only spend maybe.....<FONT COLOR="green">575</FONT> or so..
any ideas?

Yes, Portflow deals direct (unless things have changed recently). If you're not planning on revving past 8k and are only using GSR cams, there really is no need to upgrade your valvetrain. A nice simple combo that I have used on two separate heads is ITR intake valves, Portflow inners, Portflow Ti retainers, and stock exhaust valves. I have personally taken this combo to 9,100 RPM on my Portflow GSR head and my friend has taken MY spare ITR head with the same combo past 9,400 RPM. Both were on ITR cams. HTH.

only thing I would do is put in dual springs on the exhaust side, and perhaps some retainers. All the stock stuff is fine
