It's the TFS stage 2 going into my daily driven 331 stroker 94 mustang, how often will i need to service the valvetrain ( service what ) The AFR 185's have upgraded .600" lift comp cams springs, should this combo be ok for a good while??

Provided a good tune for idle and driveability that valve train will be fine with that cam. That cam has a decent centerline and not that much duration.

Ed is making me a .600"int/.573"exh lift cam for my daily driver. So if he thinks its ok... . Btw my AFR 185's have the 8032 spring package which is good to .600" lift. I think thats what you have right?

He has a 331 which I am sure has a decent set of pistons and they will have good size valve reliefs.

Then again, A LOT goes into how a cam drives that Troy touched on, i bet Ed could design a huge lift cam and get it to behave decently on the street compared to most off the shelf cams.

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
