when i install cams on my gsr do i need to replace the valve springs as well?

and if any1 knows what else i should do to do the cams right, tell me, thanks guys

 

depends on the cams u get...

 

First thing is-- what do cam gears have to do in your question? Well, it all depends on how big of cams u intend to use. If you're going to be using big lumpy/agressive cams, you're going to want to upgrade the springs to some dual springs (maybe from an ITR or aftermarket) as to not float a valve. But the thing is, if you have to ask this question, maybe you're not ready for cams

 

What are you asking? your title says cam GEARS but you thread says Cams?

I'm guessing you mean cams because there is no reason to replace the springs for any cam gear. It all depends on how aggressive your cams are if you need to replace your springs. Usually the manufacturing company will tell you if they recommend replacing the springs with their cams. For instance Toda recommends you replace the valve springs for anything more aggressive than Toda Spec A's

What cams do you plan on getting?

 

i plan on getting stage 2 Skunk cams and cam gears, i jus wanna make sure i have everything set up the right way to get maxium performance

 

Your going to definately need to upgrade your valvetrain if your going with Stage 2's. Skunk2 sells the valvetrain needed to fulfill your needs.

Also, what else have you done to the car?

If your just stock or running on stock compression your overcamming that motor extremely bad. Skunk2 Stage 2 cams need more then a stock GSR compression to reach full potential (could actually give you less power).

As far as Cam Gears those are just tune your powerband at the dyno and get the most out of your cams.

 

all i got is a AEM cold-air intake, Greddy headers and Greddy Evo exhaust done for power

 

yeah if ur gonna get that set up might want to step up to type r pistons

 

Yah...i heard all you need if you goin to go with skunk2 stg2....you need to build valvetrain and a vafc......stock gsr compression is kewl...and cam gears...at least u got ur bolts on....good start..

No. As people said earlier, stock GSR compression will only hurt you with those cams. Either upgrade your pistons to higher compression or go down to Stage 1 cams. Or you can come back here later upset asking why you didnt make **** for power with your Stage2's

Agreed! Also, CTR pistons will bump your compression a little higher than the type R.

 

ok thanks guys

 

and 1 more thing, any1 no how to get off this freakin 'trial user' mode it sucks, lol

 

POST MORE!

 

you hav to be a member for 15 days first

 

aight coo cause this only 5 listings per 24 hour period is gay

 

stage 2s require a bump in compression, you will need new pistons... tuning will be needed afterward too... bad thing about buff retainers is that you need to change them out every 15k-30k or so...but good choice in cams, you will see good gains with 2 headers in stead of 1 with those..-_-
