Q1 is it too necesary to change stock Valves on a 500-600hp turbo built ?
Q2 im going with the comp cams stage 3 cams, there are 2 set of springs i can buy which one should i get ?
Q3 When it comes to Spring retainers and keepers what should i get ?
A1. I would.
A2. How about a part number on the cams?
A3. See A2.
Particularly given his HP goals, Titanium will provide little benefit given the size of the stock retainers and has the downside of getting brittle over time where steel will not...I'm only seeing one spring available for the two and three valve engines on their site. I would use the 26113-24 and the titanium retainers 702-24.
True. Very true. Good advice. Del Pino Motorsports can help you out tremendously.SD, Dude is in Miami.
Kliestang, call Peter Del Pino, he knows a little something about building killer motors!
Trust me on this one, Mike. You really want titanium retainers. With a modmotor it is not about weight benefits. It is about harmonics and dampening.cekim said:Particularly given his HP goals, Titanium will provide little benefit given the size of the stock retainers and has the downside of getting brittle over time where steel will not...

Everything is going well. i dont have that much time lately with school and work to do anything on the car.
pete, the heads are already ported, and i already have the stage IV comp cans, which required to at least get the springs and retaingers. other than that i have everything else. im not really going to waste money on changing valves. i think it would no make that much difference. i did the cams because i plan on running the car for a couple of months N/A and probably add a little bit of Nitrous. if everything goes righ i should be ready to start the car by the middle of next month, as i said i have no time to work on it.
i'll keep you guys posted and probably shot some pics next weekend of the engine completed.
Pete i had a friend of mine do 554rwhp with only 13psi on a procharger with my same setup, only difference is that he's is manual. and he probably had stock compression. how is your built coming out ? are u getting the tranny build to or no yet?
