AFR 165cc Spring Upgrade
Should I do it, do you think its worth it? It's an extra $60 ontop the heads but they have to be special ordered from AFR which the guy said is a 4-5 week wait... all imput please!

RE: AFR 165cc Spring Upgrade
I think the cam is pretty good. I'm not doing bottom end yet so with my 1.7 rockers I had trouble finding a cam that would clear the pistons. Its also emissions legal, computer controlled compatible, and cheap so it fits everything i was lookin for. Its capable of over 300whp with those heads on a 302 so I figure its as good as any, i think a lot of times people tend to go overboard with their cam...

RE: AFR 165cc Spring Upgrade
eh, i think ur partially right. I eventually want to boost it in which case id need another custom cam made for me because of all the new parts, and nobody will want the old one b/c they'd need the exact same setup as me, so its wasted. I am pretty conservative when it comes to modding my car so I didnt want an agreesive cam to start with... the Crane is 180, ive seen custom cams cost almost twice that...

LOL! like mine
....ptvc would be my concern...about duration...some say a shorter dur. will increase cylinder pressure which in there terms makes more hp?....

RE: AFR 165cc Spring Upgrade
well ol'chap you are the first person to ever agree with me on "custom cams"....considering onyx's motor a 224/230 dur or a 222/226...dur is iffy...spring pressure would be my deciding point...after clearance...then i'd go all out.
