im not assuming, but when i valve spring lets go taking of slowly from a stop light.., something is fishy.., he replaced the spring and hasnt had any issues, but id still rather a brand such as super tech.
and ecotecfiero, if you dont want to say what cams your running on the forum, could you PM me? im really interested.
this i already knew, i already said no point in reving past 7300..,

i can only say my friend is a class A mechanic he knows his ****. they installed from up top using compressed air. and zzp made him pay for the replacement spring.
either way just saying that ive seen em break. and you never see supertech or others break. (that ive heard of)

im sure something will break if you abuse it enough i mean look at my girlfriend. The sound the car makes hitting the rev limiter is pretty nasty i mean that in a bad way. Going down the track just hitting the limiter in 3rd then trying to get back up to shift clean

I am just running the stage 3s, nbd. I know hotpursuit from the other forum and figured he knew that already.
I was more interested in seeing if anyone else has taken the LE5 up that high.

You need to visit some of the ecotecs european cousins, some of those guys are light years ahead of us especially when it came to modifying the vvt technology. Which that ultimately could lead to being able to spec out cams to use.

the only way ive seen is to get blank le5 cams and send em to Comp or etc to get a custom grind.
with the latest version of HPT we were able to adjust intake cam timing wich helped ALOT.
do you know of any euro based eco forums?
