I have a trick flow stage 1 cam and an edelbrock performer intake to install on my 93 gt. Later on in spring I am going to change the heads. I want to install the parts I have now. But will the cam cause problems with my factory valve springs.


thanks, james

The lift is over .500 on the exhaust side. .510 I wouldnt do it unles you plan to drive it easy and keep rpm low. JMHO........

Wait til you put the heads on. Not only for the springs, but the cam's not designed to work well with the stock heads. Patience.

Change the springs!! If the heads are off, or your tore down that far for the cam and intake... change the springs... you really are pushing the limits of the stock ones.... and better pressures are always welcome on a performance cam!! Cool??

Just me.....................

I agree with Thumper, Just put better valve spring on while you change the cam and intake.

Wait till you change the heads, why waste the time and money(new springs),the factory cam is a very good piece
