got my CTR cams in, and I could get 00 ITR springs/retainers for 130 or so...should i wait and install those too or should i just keep my stock si internals? quick, im gonna get my cams installed today

 

I would go w/ the ITR springs

 

Wait and install the ITR springs and retainers. Waiting and paying 130 later is cheaper then a engine rebuild.

, definately, if you can get them for 130 bucks, throw them in, and you'll be able to rev it out.

 

im ont raising the rev meter or anyhting yet

 

you should still get the itr springs.

 

at the very least get itr VS, retainers not really necessary but for that price that is cheeep

 

but they add like 250 total more cost...install price, etc

im goin on a 2k trip back to school on tuesday and i want them in to drive thats why im kinda in a rush

Shouldn't cost that more to get retainers installed @ the same time as the springs. Its all up to you. If you want absolute 0 problems then wait until you have all the ITR hardware to run the CTR cams.

 

think they will add no install cost to install the spring/retains w/ the cams?

 

It shouldn't be that much it they are already in there to do the springs. Do you knwo if they are doing it with the head on or off the car.

 

no clue, they installing cams though not springs...and im am wondering if i should get springs/retainers w/ the cams...actually i just bought htem so i am wondering if they will charge more.

 

They may charge a little more (Unless you know them real well) but its definently a insurance policy to upgrade your Springs and retainers to ITR's. Good luck

 

Well its all working out well, i got the guy to overnight the ITR springs/retainers, ill get them tommorow and just got my CTR cams in the mail, and they are in badass shape. I got baddass pricess too

CTR CAMS: 330 w/o shipping
00 ITR SPRINGS/RETAINERS: 130 w/o shipping

im happy

hopefully the new upgrade will entertain me for the 2k trip back to school coming up on tuesday.

 

 

how much is a good price to install springs/retainers...my shop guy told me it would take like 1-2 days with springs/retainers...if i just installed cams...it wouldnt be...so is it still woth it?

 

2 days??? is he wee-todd-did? we did cams and valvesprings in ~4hours! and that was taking our time. i was running ctr cams w/o valvespring upgrade and stock rev limit for ~10k miles, zero problems. when i upgraded to an ITR ecu, i put in itr valvesprings, kept the stock retainers. no problems
