Default Second Opinion: Skunk2 Stage2's in PR3 w/ Stock Valvetrain.

I've talked to a few people that have ran this setup for quite some time and haven't had problems. Just curious what you all thought? I'm somewhat on a budget, so I plan on doing these cams and some pistons and calling it "good" for a while.

Thanks in Advance.

it can be done, but not a good idea. save yourself the headache in the future and get the valvetrain.

sure it will run but for how long, sk2 stage 2 cams are a high lift, springs will most likly bind if you rev it past 8.4k rpm, this way its going to cost you more for damaged valve train + bottom end...

springs and retainers are not much more expensive and will allow you to compltly enjoy new power

so are you guys saying that it would be ok (almost as reliable as stock) with an upgraded valvetrain? By upgraded do you mean something like an ITR or aftermarket?
