im looking to purchase these soon. im just curious what springs and retainers are suitable for these cams???

 

I just bought these cams for my new build and was originally going with manley, but the manley springs/retainers are only good for .43" of lift and these cams are just over that, so I needed to upgrade. I went with the supertech springs/retainers which are good to almost .5" of lift.

I have a question...what turbo are you running that you will need these? They are designed for top end 3500-8500rpm and like 500+whp.

I am not saying don't get them, i did, but you can go too big if you build isn't supporting it and it will hurt spool and power.

 

Supertech, just get them straight from GSC, it's much easier. I got the cams, springs and retainers the very next day I needed them.

 

/threadjack
does anyone sell just retainers? I ask b/c i went 214-b and kelford springs, but it's odd that I see no retainer options

OP, get the supertech, they look very nice

 

OP has a ets 35r kit.

time for me to add more mods to keep up.

 

Then by all means, GSC S2's!

 

i have the gsc s2 and i got the gsc bee hive valve springs and titanium retainers.

 

They do not make those springs/retainers for the X yet.

 

yea sorry i just logged on. i have the ets hta 3582 kit..i actually found a vendor here that has a great price on these cams but not springs or retainers so thats why i was asking..does anyone know how much the supertechs cost??

 

I wanna say i paid 350 or somewhere in that region...

Honestly, I can't be positive because it's all rolled into a $9000 bill right now, lol.

 

lol murlo. I just got the quote for all the work being preemptively done to my engine and big bolt-on turbo etc, came in at 8k. And i already have cams/springs/injectors. My fiance wasn't very happy when I told her how much I wanted to spend...

 

That'll happen....I am doing this while I am single, young and dumb

If I get married, lord help me, I doubt the modding game continues like it is, lol.

 

though she did offer to cancel the honeymoon so I could get a turbo kit. that was a trap, right?

 

ITS A TRAP (star wars guy voice, lol)

 

call Greg@ gsc motorsports, he 'll hook u up with the behive springs & retainer. They work great and fast shipping too
