Ok so I went to a shop and they told me in order to put stage 1's i need new valve springs, but i thought stage 1's you can just bolt right on to your stock valve train? any help on this? I need opinions and advice because it sounds like bull to me, that's the first time i have heard that the last i remember stage 1's can just bolt right on to your stock head.

 

stage 1 cams you will be fine with stock valvetrain but if you upgrade to anything above stage 1 you will need valvetrain kit

 

Like what nahonda04 said, you don't need valvetrain with stage1 cams, I say it's b/s.

 

Yeah that's what I said thanks for the advice. Anyone running stage 1's? I want some feedback on these

 

ITR cams are where its at...i paid 200 for mine

 

stg1 cams are great for spirited driving, I would compare the specs for the ITR vs the skunk2 cams and see where the gains are. Putting in TSX cams are good as well, not sure the year, would have to research that one.

 

i thought you couldnt use k24 cams in a k20 head? i beleive ITR cams are some where around 262 degrees of lift

 

don't bother with the stage ones.. you don't get a lot more gain compare to ITR cams.. may as well save a bit more $$ go with stage II (that's what i did), then again since the engine head is out you may as well change the valvetrain.. you won't notice too much power gain on the Stage 1s.
