here is my setup... i have a 94 obd1 gsr motor stock bottom end w/ CTR pistons. My compression ratio is 12.5.1! I have a stock gsr head now but this is what im gonna put into in within the next 2 months for sure. Im getting some Skunk 2 stage 2 cams, aem cam gears, 390 injectors, arp headstuds, titanium retainers bbbuuttt i wanna know what vavlesprings i should use? could i get away w/ some new oem typeR valvesprings (that are dual valvesprings) and get away with it? also what about valves i was going to use with are TypeR also...
i know i need a good set of aftermarket vavlesprings and valves but my "college" income permits me otherwise! my question is that im not looking to go past 9,000 rpm's! Would stage 2 cams, typeR valvesprings, titanium retainers, typeR valves, and 390 injectors w/ my high compression be a nice RELIABLE or will i just be an idiot by putting those cams in w/ that valvetrain setup????

sorry if your confused and any reply is always welcome, THANKS

 

i dont think you can rev to 9k on itr springs as the itr redline isnt 9k......search for valvesprings in the all motor forum and see what others are using

i did and couldnt find anything specifically! i had one reply

 

first things first get ridd of those aem can gears. they suck. try golden eagle cam gears. as far as valve train, go with skunk i use them for the past 5 years and they haven't failed me yet. as a matter of fact i have some for sale. i'll pm you.

 

 

omnipower valves, rocket motorsports gen2 springs and retainers, /thread dont even think about using itr springs and retainers with stage 2 cams

 

typeR valves would be fine right???? im prob going to go with supertech dual valvesprings and retainers sound like a good setup to you???

 

DO NOT USE THE ITR VALVES!! There stems are too weak to be good and reliable, 8,500 is redline with those valves for reliability. I wish I still had mine sitting around I would show you pictures. If money is your concern go with some GSR valves or Si valves, I have a set of both sitting around I will basically give away. They have thicker stems and will stand up better and last longer. You can use the ITR valves if you really want, but I switched my valves out because I have heard of a lot of problems with people trying to use those valves when reving above 8,500.

Good luck, hope this was some help
