do i need new valve springs?

00mustang00 · October 1st, 2008, 11:27 PM

its a never ending pursuit isnt with us mustang guys. we are never truely happy with our car no matter what we put in it haha. i just put in mac o/r hpipe with my slp loudmouth I's. i am about to buy the hitech stage II cams and was wondering if i needed to get new valve springs with that. im getting the car tuned at a local speed shop so all i need to know is if i need to shell out just alil more cash for the valve springs or if i can get away without them. thanks in advance

Get the springs man, they aren't that high and then you can get whatever cams you want without worrying about the springs. Do the seals while you are there too.

Lol deff get the springs. Like everyone else said better safe than sorry...

00mustang00 · October 2nd, 2008, 12:33 AM

yea i think im gonna get the valve springs. im going to a local shop around me but havent really talked to them yet about the install. does anyone know on average how much it cost to get the cams and valve springs installed?

chefalan23 · October 2nd, 2008, 01:21 AM

the stock springs cant handle much more than the pi cams. doesnt matter what stage cams you get, you should always change the valvesprings

Valve springs wouldnt add to the cost, besides the springs themselves. Shit i had a little valve float with stock cams. Get the springs.

I wouldn't recommend it, but I did run stock springs, with my Houston Performance s292 cams. They were 531 lift, 242* of duration, and 114* lsa.

I made 516/453 for over a year and a half this way, and ran a 11.26 @ 129.
