Camshaft upgrade
Hey, I was just wondering, is it really necessary to but the valve springs and retainers for a single cam upgrade. It's a street cam made for lightly modded engines and says it produces about 25 hp for my d16y8. Think I'd be able to go without? Or should I spend another 300 for the springs and retainers. I can buy the springs and retainers separately, so buying one or the other is an option too. Thanks

Re: Camshaft upgrade
If you are keeping your stock redline, you should be fine without springs and retainers. Keep in mind a solution for adjusting fuel due to a more aggressive cam profile, though.

Re: Camshaft upgrade
I have heard good things about the ZEX/Crane cam and the Skunk2 is a good choice as well

Re: Camshaft upgrade
i'll look into the zex and crane cams too. I was actually planning on buying a skunk 2 cam. What should i do about the fuel adjustments?

Re: Camshaft upgrade
If you indent on getting cams at all you will have to get the motor re-tuned. All the fuel adjustments are made through the ECM.
