to be on the safe side, get 105 springs, i would go modified retainers and that would be just about it. this is just to be on the safe side. nothing more nothing less. not to sure about the specs on this cam, but that is what i would do. maybe the OR pushrods too. MAYBE. that would be on you

modified heads, larger springs and new retainers

I think you can just get modified seals to use the cam instead of heads. I think it was Rob telling me this. Someone wanna chime in?? h34r: h34r:

yeah, i am not too sure on the specs on this cam, but yeah, you should get the modified guides(seals) also if the cam is real big. the head work, like 12secGTP is saying, is the way to go no doubt about it. if you get a cam, you port out the heads to get the full potential but since alot of people dont, these are the things you should get.

 

[BumpinGTP]

it can be used with shorter valve seals and modified retainers, but to gain the full potential of this cam you would want heads.

Ok ppl I want to do this right the first time, and avoid the problems so let me know how much I'm looking at with milding the heads and everything. Miller this doesn't include the cam and other stuff.

call me if you want my opinion h34r:

i have a question i've always wondered...


which would do you better


get a intnese 1x cam...that doesn't require headwork


or a stage 2..that requires headwork...but you don't do the headwork(porting) instead just use it with shorter valve seals and modified retainers.


does that make sense...the 1x at it potential..or the stage 2 not at its potential..how big a diff. is that?

 

[gtphale]

I would go with stage 2 and get the seals and retainers. Then later if you get the cash or desire you can do the heads the correct way.

 

[2KREDGHOST]

That's what I'm doing Hale.

Double check, I think you want 130# springs with the S2 cam....Stonger pushrods are adviseable-dont want to take a chance bending a stocker pushrod with the stronger springs.....Not for $104.99 to your door INTENSE LW. Rock on-you can P&P later....

 

[gtphale]

yea 130's would be a good move just a little safer in the long run. I ran stock pushrods for a long time with no problems. Just stay away from the OR pushrods. I beleive Intense changed their site and said they are used for rockers. Also lifters from comp cam would be a good idea.
