Default Anyone gsr owners running R cams w/o R valve springs and retainers?

Im just curious because i figured with the more agressive cam you will need a stronger valvetrain components.

ran it no probs on my 1994 GSR
with a year of abuse, still fine.
you need R springs if you plan on revving the motor beyond 8400 rpm....

I am going portflow/ITR setup to run to 9000 rpm this season.

If you bother to change the cams, I definately think you should go ahead and bother to change the valve springs / retainers... better safe then sorry...

I have the CTR cams / Crower Dual Valve Springs / Crower Titainium Retainers and rv to 9K safely on the track... 8600 on the street....

why would you rev that high with CTR cams, your hurting yourself by going past 8400rpms, 9k on CTR cams you lost probely 25hp, considering where you would of shifted to

I installed CTR cams in a stock GSR vavletrain and it ran great, all the way up to the factory rev-limiter.

I have a '99 GSR and am running stock internals with CTR cams. I've had them for over a year with no problems. I've run the car hard at the road track and it runs great. Just be sure to check and adjust your timing after you install them. Get the car tuned as well if you can. Good luck!

JUN 2 intake cam and ITR exhaust cam, its a good combo I have run it before, but I recomend doing the JUN 2 exhaust cam at the same time. you will like it trust me
