I'm going to try to keep it stock as possible. I may get the Green kit in the future but for now, I'm planning to stay stock turbo. Hopefully I what I said make sense

Its not smart replacing cams and not the rest. The rest only costs a few hundred bucks. Do it once and get it done with, why tear into it more then needed?

BTW, your tuned by Tamer and so am I he knows what he is talking about, talk to him and get his .02 cents and he will most likely tell you to do the upgrade, your playing with fire not doing it.

Thats a retarded statement.You DO NOT need to upgrade your valve springs for the HKS 272's period!! Nor do you have to change your head studs to run them, OP.. There are countless threads on this. You are not going to have any problems at all

I am running hks 272's with the stock springs and retainers, and I have not had any problems. (I have even missed shifts and revved past 8k!)

Thanks.

With the new clutch I have been getting high rpm lockout, and that has caused me on two different occasions to accidentally rev past 8k. Yes, I freaked out at the time, but I have not had any issues.
