I think skunk2 is fine. A lot of people I know use their products. A lot of big name cars use it too. They actually do not sell tuner series valve springs anymore because they have been replaced by alpha series. I would pick those up to go along with the cams. The valve are probably not worth it. For a NA build stock valves are perfectly fine.

thanks alot im order it for sure but . im gonna chance the valves anyway but i was just gonna put standered compression but should i run high compression ? cause the more the compression the more power you get from cams right or wrong??

What is this the 4th thread?

Skunk2s valve train is decent. Leave the valves alone.

It depends on what your plans for the car. If you're doing an all-motor build or otherwise known as "naturally aspirated" build, you want a slightly higher compression. Compression has nothing to do with the cams. Lower compression is used in supercharged or turbocharged applications in order to make room for more fuel and air as the charging system forces air into the motor. You obviously don't know much about building motors so that's why I've given you such simple explanations. Do your research. Come up with a power goal and figure out if you want to do a NA build or FI (forced induction- turbo, etc), THEN figure out what your engine needs to make it happen.

I don't think he is saying compression has to do directly with the cams. He is asking if it would be beneficial to use high compression valves to yield a higher compression so that he can gain more from the cams. In that case the compression will only be a slight change but increasing compression will yield more power from those cams.
