Default This summer (internal work)

i have a 92 acura legend... This summer i am going to be doing some internal work to get it ready for forced induction.. I am going to go with custom foged wiseco pistons, custom crower forged rods, valve springs, 2 angle valves, and titanium retainers. Are these good products? what brand of cam is the best to go with? What other things should i do while i am doing my internal work?

heres what i am doing
low comp pistons
rods
valves
valve springs
cam
cam gears
port and polishin everything
enlargin heads
toda timing belt
port/gasket matched heads
level 10 trans upgrade
SAFC II

Is there anyhting i am missing? i would rather do everything now so i dont have to come back to this later.. whats a good cam?

thanks everyone!

i think by head enlargement he means port work, i wouldnt use wiseco pistons i'd use cp i feel they are far superior of a product and better quality, and level 10 is a company that does tranny upgrades. dont forget new ebaring water pump and oil pump.

i would probably leave the stock cam and look into maybe over-sized stainless steel valves for a high power turbo setup.

its gonna be hard to find specific valve-train components for that engine. valve springs and retainers.........good luck i wouldn't be surprised if no one makes those.

BUT if you really want a simple answer to which ones to use and "might" work in that engine why not look at the NSX valve springs and retainers. the NSX V6 can spin to over 8000rpm so those valve springs might actually work (but don't quote me on that)

good luck
