SSoCal Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 i think im going to get the vhp cam (212/218-.551/.551) and im going to replace the springs. my question is, are titanium retainers worth the money? are they needed/recommended? and with that lift would 1.8:1 rockers be a good investment. i really dont know jack about this stuff so any help is appreciated.

BigTex Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Skip the rockers. The titanium retainers aren't needed either. They would help if you spin high rpms and run a higher lift cam. Just the cam and some comp 918 springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSoCal Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 ok, no new rockers and forget the titanium retainers. got it. thanks guys. i asked not too long ago about cam selection and got a couple quick answers. choices were between the vhp cam (see above post) and the comp cams 212/218-.558/.563 115. i think most said they liked the comp but could anyone go into detail as to why. with the shorter intake and tighter lsa wouldnt the powerband be lower and better for a heavy truck. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
