i cant find any sites that have prices for these. how much do they go for? any brand is fine. im planning on raising my limiter to about 8500. Can anyone recommened on who i should go to...maybe a hook up price?

Ken- who thought it would be nice to work in the hook up part.


TIA

 

what cams?

 

to add, sometimes you dont' need certain valvesprings and retainers.
some cheaper valvesprings/retainers can withstand the lift and high rpms
of certain cams

 

I have Skunk2 Stage 1 cams.

 

I would get itr intake springs for both intake and exhaust sides along with
some ti retainers.
Those should be fine for you

 

ditto. run all yellows. yellow inners too.

 

thanks...how much do they go for?

Steve...would you recommend this setup on a car with stock itr cams and Ti retainers, or are the stock springs fine?
Austin

 

stock springs + stock R cams + ti retainers good to 9500

 

Thanks Steve, just needed the clarification, as that's what my future holds.

Yea, but will stock Cams make power up that high?????

 

Hey...if they're already out, might as well replace them if the other are better mentality being used. Most likely it will be to around 9100 rev limiter, all depends upon what the curve looks like and what Lawrence thinks.

once again....how much $$$??!!!!

 

I was just curious..as I do not know those things.

 

but with the skunk srpings i thought u had to change out the spring seat to there spring seat?

 

Hey Mike, remember I asked you... on the inner springs, the yellow intake springs seems to be *softer* than the exhaust side. But this is based on my fingers, not a spring tester. I thought you agreed? No?

Skunk2 valvesprings are retainers are $385 shipped from me.

 

Since the intake and exhaust valve weight the same the required spring rates for the two are going to be determined by the cam profile for each.

Now the exhaust cam is almost always milder then the intake cam (as is the case with the stock cams) so it stands to reason that the exhaust springs should be softer then the intake springs (as a set).

In fact this can clearly be proven with the stock springs because the exhaust springs on the R are the same springs used on the GSR intake, also the GSR uses a single spring on the exhaust. Obviously the stock intake spring sets are stiffer then the exhaust. By how much? Don't know...
