Stage 2 or Stage 3 cams? - SRT Forums

I'm doing the water pump and timing belt soon. I figured it would be a good time to drop some cams in while i'm at it. I was thinking about the BC stage 2 cams but I do plan on going big turbo in the future so that got me thinking that maybe I should just go with stage 3s. I do plan on being on the stock turbo for at least 4 or 5 more months though. This is primarily a street car so I would like to maintain driveability. Will the stage 3s trip a CEL, and how about power brakes and other things? If I go with the stg. 2s I know the springs and retainers are not required but are recommended, are they worth doing? what are your opinions? Thanks!!!

BC Stage 2 unless you are going with something requiring a raised rev limit to actually get into boost. Stage 2 for a daily driver.

If you are going to have the head apart, just do the springs and retainers. What I learned from my first build is get everything done while its apart the first time or you will regret it later.

ok cool thanks for the help guys! I'll check my funds and if I have enough i'll get the springs and retainers.
