stock springs with 272's

[jaredgsx]

I am looking to buying some HkS 272 cams, intake and exhaust, getting ready for a larger turbo. I already know that with my 14b i wont see as much of a gain as i would if i had a larger turbo that could use the extra air better. What i am needing to know is if, with the 272, will i have to get stiffer springs? Please only respond if you know for a fact. I tried searching and did not turn up too much

You do not "NEED" them.

Like they said you dont NEED them but if you have the extra money its a very good idea to do it.

if you want to squeze every available horse out of your engine go with the lightest spring rates possible; it will put less drag on the engine. If you can get away with running stock springs i would go that route. just a lil info for you to help in your decision.

Wouldnt recommend it. Valve float is fun for noone.

I'd say go for it if you got the extra cash! But not must.

exactly. you might be able to run them for a while, but what happens if they give out and you float a valve? you have more to pay for than the $300 you could have spent on valve train
