Default Using TODA B-Specs Cams without Valve Springs.

Hey do you guy's think it's ok to run TODA B-Spec cams without the Toda Valve springs or retainers, I will be keeping the stock ECU with the car.

I opted to do the valvetrain for two reasons...

1. If I miss a shift. I've never done so before, but with my luck, I could see it happening unfortunately.

2. I plan to eventually raise the revs so it was obviously a requirement.

My opinion is simply if you think you'll be raising compression/revs, do everything (ie: cams, gears, valvetrain) at once. I still would have the Toda springs even if I didn't have my future plans

I do plan on installing them, but at the time I got the cams, it wasn't in the budget. Until then, I'll just be nice to my car
