TC Chronicles --- Engine Assembly Reply #105 – August 27, 2007, 11:50:51 AM Depending on what camshaft I go with. Right now I'm looking at a Trick Flow Stage 1, if I go with it I wont have to go with new springs. Now I've been looking at a Stage 2 as well, If I go with it I'll have to get new springs.. Rockers are just not in the budget at the moment. Quote Selected

I spin the thing to 5,500 some times and with the stock GT40P springs I'd get some valve float :hick: Quote Selected

I have the Trick Flow springs that came with the Twisted Wedge heads I have and they seem to be doing just fine.
