Anyone know if we also need to upgrade the valve springs and retainers?

I want to build a big nitrous kit and I'll upgrade the valves while i'm at it.

Great kit can't wait to buy it!

The locks preclude the use of the titanium retainers that are currently availible.

If I got the Drag Grind High Compression, had 12.5 comp. and a quad TB how driveable would the car be. Would I have to increase the idle for it to run smooth.

The TEC-III will do a good job of handling idle. Even with cams and quad TBs, that part of what they had in mind when they designed their fuel computer.

so what about valves? will the cams help that much? i know valves would definately be necessary with this, so why aren't they included also for a little more? just a thought. guess we will have to buy them seperate...and this and the valves is everything that we need for the top end right? thanks

What about "staged" kits. This way you can buy what ever kit you can afford.

Top End = Anything in the head (lifters, rockers, valves, valve springs, etc)
Bottom End = Anything attached to the block (pistons, con rods, etc)
