Winter... Valvetrain upgrades

[airattack111]

In January or so I want to do some internal mods, I'll have all the bolt ons by then, "practically already do".

I do not want a cam, because I have no idea if I will be going super or turbo in the future, and If I have an n/a cam it wont work very well, so will probably just stick with the stock cam for a while.

You guys have any suggestions for valve train upgrades? I was looking over at ZZP, the aluminum rocker package for 350.00, the stainless steel valves for $77.00, push rods etc..

Just wondering whats good for a stock engine right now that has every bolt on except headers. Also have hp tuners if any tuning needs to be done after install.. thanks

Re: Winter... Valvetrain upgrades

if you ARE going to do a cam then You can not go bigger than1.7 R roller rockers which = 0hp on NA cars. I would decide what your boost plans are before doing anything internal otherwise it will be a waste of time.

Re: Winter... Valvetrain upgrades

yea, but you cant upgrade anything top end really besides heads and cam that would give any power.

push rods and valves = 0hp

I'm just a little curious, but why is this a bad idea?

it negitvely effects flow threw the TB, causes irregular idle, etc.
