hey if you upgrade cams do you HAVE to upgrade valvesprings even with a mild cam ? or does aftermarket cams and stock springs lead to float ---

Are you Running SR, or KA? If your running the SR it’s nutorious for valve floating… Get a set of the Greddy rocker arm guards. I know a shop that carries a lot of SR20 parts in stock all the time. If you need them, let me know and I’ll PM you the info on them. That’ll solve your float problem… However, if your going to take off the cams (all of this is assuming you have an SR) I’d recommend doing the springs. If you can afford it. It’s worth it. I did both to my SR and all is well in the land of boosting 😛 ---

Short answer - you do not need to upgrade your valve train on mild cams. I personally am getting 264’s Step 1’s and have no intention of upgrading. There are many examples of guys running more agressive cams that this with nothing done. ---

Ok, First off. I’m not even at JRP anymore… I haven’t been Since November. So how about everyone Lays off me… I left for those reasons… I don’t need to be labels because of shit JRP did. That is there business now… Please try to keep me out of it. I speak it… because I’ve had SR20DET’s in my car for over 6 years now. I’ve been working with them for all of those 6 years. I know quite a bit about the engines, and wish to share my knowledge with those here who care to hear it. I’ve blown MANY of them. I like to think I know a few ways to prevent them from blowing.

No it’s because rocker arm stoppers don’t stop valve float. and SRs arn’t nutorious for valve float. ---

There are a lot of people who don’t like JRP. I can appreciate that. As long as people don’t think I’m trying to push them, or anything I’m happy.

Nobody has anythign against you or jrp, some people just don’t like fwd cars, and think putting an SR into a civic is dumb?? And the whole plugging shops thing is just really homo, there is already enough of it as there is on here even if it isn’t jrp. Don’t take anyone on here serious, most have ugly rotted out 240s with bootleg parts that never go to the track and spend most of their time trying to find replacement parts for shit that’s broken. ---
