What Cams?

[sower23]

I am looking at some cams for a ported head and i have crower springs and titanium retainers. Also i have a piggy back that does everything a aem stand alone does (almost everything). Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Manley > Crower. We're talking about Manley springs here. No destruction of my valvetrain for many, many miles now. If there were a problem, I certainly would have encountered it by now.

Straight from Mike at Slowboy:

This entire year, we have run comp 101400's [very similar grind as FP2X<= my insert] on both SBR cars, shifted at 9k in my car, and a little over 10k in Nate's car with no issues with Manley S&R kit. Nate did miss a shift once, data recorded 11.5k and Nate did tap a few valves. Not certain if dual springs would have prevented or not...

8500 is a breeze!

Crower is not much better than stockers and shimmed stocker are better than unshimmed Crowers. Shep ran to 10,000 rpms on shimmed stockers for the longest time with, no doubt, a more aggresive grind than the FP2X grind. And without a doubt, the Manleys are better than stockers. even shimmed stockers.

Bank on my car. I took the advice and it works fantastic.

Yes! don't get Crowers for this grind. Get Manley's or the FP springs. Manley'sa re more cost effective.

I was pointing out that since he already had Crower springs/retainers that FP said it may be ok to use those with the FP2x cams. Personally I wasn't ok with "may" so I bought Supertech dual springs/retainers.

Oh, my bad. I was ASSuming that you were saying that Manley's and crowers are the same or that I was talking abou crowers. . . No beef

i've heard good things about crower cams but i have hks cams. i have the 264 intake and 272 exhaust setup and i love it cause you don't get the ruff idel that the 272 intake cam gives you and the 272 in more for track. with my setup i got +32hp and +30tq. it's a good steet strip setup, perfect for daily driver.
