With tuning you will love them. You shouldn't use stock valve springs, though... At least portflow inner springs.

No, not safe.

They are copies of Skunk2 cams, forgot which specific model though.

there is a beefier timing belt that you should consider, which i thought was a good idea. it's made by power enterprises or something like that. Some one else chime in!

Valve spring pressure, combined with high compression will cause premature T-belt failure... The trick is finding the correct valve spring to compliment the cams.

High compression = tension placed on belt when the ramp of the lobe on the cam begins to roll into the rocker. This is dependent on cam timing.

Valve pressure = How much tension the belt is absorbing while trying to rotate the cam through its timing cycle.

Usually, the two are combined because rarely does a motor run High compression without the necessary cams to take advantage of the compression... And its just ridiculous to run a huge cam without compression. Further more, you SHOULD NOT run valve springs that do not provide the enough pressure to avoid valve float. Its a fine line, imo.

I think Toda makes a nice belt. GUILOTINE has a nice one on his build too. Can't remember whiich belt it was though. Just look at his thread.
