Sorry if this is a stubid question but im trying to decide if i should go stage 1 or 2 kelford cams...

my dilema is even though stage 2 includes the valve springs idk if i want to put them in. So im wondering if i would be ok running stage 2 without the upgraded valve springs and kept it at stock rev limit??

what turbo are you running?..... if your runnin the stocker stick with stage one

 

oh yeah mahalo

 

The more lift the cams have, the more the valve springs will be compressed on full lift. With the stage 2s, you probably go over the compression limit of the stock valve springs so that is why the springs are supplied. If you don't use them, there is a chance that you can break the stock valve springs causing the valve to drop into your cylinder.

 

thanks for the response guys i ordered the fp red turbo

 

go with stage 2 and build the head. thats what im gonna do, good luck brotha. rev that red out

 

WE have done stage 1 + springs on the Evo X with red.. The valve springs are int he X are weak stock its not bad to have some extra insurance..

I will have to say yes to weak springs in the X's head - I know I found out about that one in our own car ...

Sorry to thread jack.... I have one question the Kelford stage 2's come with the valve springs but no retainers, is there another option out there besides reusing the stock ones??

 

what were you revving 2?
