if you dont go beyond the stock rev limiter

its not really recommended anyways, just get the valvetrain if ur gonna shell out the dough for that already!!

Even going to the stock rev limiter I wouldnt feel safe. Plus, by only going as high as a stock Si, your not really taking advantage of the cams. Wait till you can afford the springs/retainers also. You will be much more pleased if you do.

I think you should wait. Bigger cams will push the valve springs further than they were made to go (stressing them out). Upgrade it all...

negative, they will float and most likely break, and the b's are rumored to have breakage problems even with the whole valvetrain.

there's an intelligent response.

the answer to your question is no. float = bad.

boost it.

It`s called an opinion. He got mine wether he wanted it or not. Isn`t this country great.

"float=bad" is pretty good too. That must be the technical term.
