i am plannin to build my GSR head......with skunk2 stage 2 cams...my friend who is an engine builder said i should only get skunk2 valve springs and use stock retainer.....he said the titanium ones will break after 30kmls ius this true or should i get skunk2 retainer like they said....
Originally posted by temp your stock retainers will be fine at those RPM levels....if you are still trippin about it, get some ITR ones, those are for sure good to 10k......
You are correct anything below 10k for revving will be fine on stock retainers!!!!
GSR retainers are the same as type r ones, just a side note.
And lastly, there is no need to rev to 9,500rpm on skunk2 stage 2's as i think they stop making power at about 8,900rpm(not sure though.) But you freind is correct no need for retainers at the rpm of revving.

Originally posted by temp when do toda spec b's stop making power?
I belive the spec b's stop making power just below that about 8,600-8,700. But stage 2's and Toda B's are two different types of cams.
Stage2's are a top end cam, for more of your drag application cars.(or so i have heard and read.)
Toda b's are very good mid-to-upper range cams.
I have not seen any good dyno graphs for skunk2 cams, but i have seen good dyno's for JUN and Toda.
JUN cams are like skunk2's they are an upper range cam, with a little less mid range. Toda is a great mid-range cam and lacks a little on the upper end. JUN only puts out 4whp more then the Toda c's, but the JUN makes power a little higher.

so todas are good for a mid-to-top end hit........good
