Some even have mix-match sets with something like a 22in/18out. That's crazy. The guy with that set up said it felt like VTEC at 4500rpm. Even more so than figuring out the grinds they're using, I wonder if anyone else could make sense of their cam vs. valvespring failure thread. There is a lot of information in that thread and I liken it to this one. It starts off pretty good, but then gets your eyes to spinning quick. LOL. They also have a thread about Rhoades Lifters that some of them are apparently using with the more aggressive cams. I think I saw something like $150 for a set. That's very respectable imo. I still have some searching to do over there relating to a dual valve spring set up, as I saw mention of them a couple places and would prefer not snapping a Crower spring the first pull to 9krpm with a new, custom cam. So, here's a new question (or a variation of a previous one), what do you guys think about picking up a set of custom Crowers with perhaps a standard C3 exhaust profile, but something more on par with, say, a Crane 22 intake? Pros? Cons? For the record, with the arrival and rebuild of the Galant, Daisy is going to only need to be streetable to make it to autoX, the drag strip, and the Shootout. Thanks.
