good deal, you'll need to upgrade your vavletrains. what mods do you have? im guessing I/H/E. Overall gains should be at least 10hp or so...probably even more depending on mods on the motor.

 

i got i/full exhaust/ stock headers


how much is it to upgrade a valve train?

and what happens if i dont

 

dont upgrade valvetrain and your valves and pistons will say hello to each other. gains are 10-20whp depending on the entire setup. these cams will really shine when you up the compression as well.

its not really required to upgrade the vavletrains but its recommended...i'd upgrade.

even skunk2 recommends valvetrain with the stage 2's and up. you'd be a fool not to.

You have one header.

Cost to upgrade valve train depends entirely on which components you choose and whether or not you can do the work yourself, but count on ~$200 for springs, ~$250-300 for valves, ~$100 for retainers, (plus new valve seals & locks if you want to build it right)...

If you don't, you'll very likely have piston-to-valve clearance issues which usually result in a catastrophic engine failure...
