Yea thats what i was thinking myself there steelcity, about camber! Okay we will let you have your day in the sun being the apr splitter guy . Im sure I'd break the dam thing anyway, I seem to already hit alot of driveways as is. Altho for those few days it would look nice . Now the cam install tool just arrive yesterday so hopefully soon. I didn't upgrade any valve springs or anything tho. they should work just fine as a drop in. Altho the more i think about it and after talking with Glenn, Im debating on doing it all. springs, retainers , and new lifters. The problem with that is then i might have to wait a few weeks to aquire all the parts.

Jer,

If you feel you need those springs and retainers and new lifters you should wait al ittle and think it over, do not rush and then have to redo the project all over again at a later time.

I think for his set up the TXS is more than efficient. What makes you think that the TXS one is inefficent?

What cams did you go with? if you just get 272's you dont need to upgrade because its not required....They work fine with the stock valvetrain unless your going to rev the crap out of the car which I doubt since you have the stock block. Other than that your throwing money away......Put the cams in and enjoy it, if you go bigger cams like revolvers in the future then worry about it because they do require it but 264 or 272's I wouldnt bother, spend the money elsewhere.....IMO

I agree you reallydont' have to worry too much but sometimes its one of those mods where your thinking "well i can do it all now while i'm in here, or do this job 2 times and do it a few months from now" I think thats the hardest thought.
