I currently have skunk2 stage 3 cams and I dont know which Rocket valve springs and retainers to buy. I dont know which set between the gen 1 and the gen 2 would be the safest for the stage 3's. I know they both can support the high lift of the stage 3's but which would be better? Can anyone help inform me on the differnece between the two?

 

gen 2 is fine

second

 

Now can someone please elaborate why the Gen2 are better?

 

"Gen2 retainers are made of 6AL4V titanium. By using these retainers you can use a higher lift cam due to it's increased install height. By increasing the install height it also allows more retainer to valve seal clearance and prevents spring binding. They also have the same tight fitment that our Gen1 springs and retainers are known for."

that is the correct answer

love mine to death and won't trade or sell them

 

Well I ordered my RM gen2 springs and retainers for my skunk2 stage 3 cams. Ive done some research and what Ive found that these springs and retainers would support up to 14mm of lift and are not to harsh on the cam, leading to cam wear. well Ill give them a try

 

how much did you pay?

 

IM Rocket, he prob. knows.

 

no i was saying because i am told he paid 265 and if one were to read my sig
