Badasstang281 · October 25th, 2007, 09:09 PM

Plan on doing vt stage 2 N/A cams do I need to do new retainers and or Bolt-On Cam Gear Kit??? I know I need new Spring.

new springs def for a stage 2 kit. i would get the cam gear kit too. make sure you have the right tools to adjust your timing (i've never done a swap, so i couldn't tell you exactly what, but somebody will chime in im sure).

get the matching retainers,I am putting in a set of vt stage 3 blowers as we speak and I am using the crower high load with tit. retainers. the retainers are machined so the spring sits higher on valve(installed height) allowing for use of higher lift cams.if your doing the springs with heads still on the car then you will need the spring compressor tool also

alls you really need is new springs, cam gear set if you 99-00 and then a tune

retainers would be added measure but they're not neccessary

Its "recommended" that you degree the cams. I have the Stage 2's and I didnt . I dont have any problems.

Stage 2's take serious tuning to get em right. They make their power up high,you will only really benefit from them if you get like 4.10s to get the rpm's up quicker.

But they sound like war in my car.

Timing--------CLICK

You definitely need gears for the Stage 2's .
