Default Thoughts on zex/compcams 57200?

Anyone have much experience with these? They are basically their stage 2s(street/strip). I did some searching here but didnt come up with too much.

INT max lift: 12.446, duration @ 1.27mm: 238
EX max lift: 11.43, duration @ 1.27mm: 240

i would be running portflow springs/Ti retainers with them.

I built a B16A engine with CTR pistons, Head milled 0.4mm, Compcams ZEX 57200 Cams, 913 set valve springs of compcams ZEX and steel retainers. First, i was surprised to received single springs for exhaust parts...
This WE, for my first race with this new engine, after 150km of race on track, i blowed the egine and it is one exhaust valve and retainer was broken !!!! Head is broken, the piston is exlosed !!!
Thanks a lot to compcams for their single springs on exhaust !!!!
PS: rev limiter is set to 9000rpm and shift light to 8600rpm, not too hight !

i used those cams when i had a b16 like 2 years ago i like them i think they are just as good as the skunk but then again thats my view and they are way cheap, but you must use they valves springs. will cause damage

i personally dont like comp cams' choice for single springs on any of their applications, but for my sohc screamer, it works just fine.... maybe try using S2 or rocket or some other brand of valve spring.
