Exactly this... I had the S1's put in a long time ago.. The springs and retainers are not a requirement with them, which was my original thinking.. A handful of mods later, the black and a tune or two later, now I almost wish I went with the S2's from the beginning. When I do my motor build I'll prob stay with the S1's. Moral of the story, strongly consider what you will be doing down the road and really how far you will go... If you wanna go big, then get the right cams for the future
