Is the lift on this cam going to be too much for the stock springs that come on the 165's? Stg. 2 is LIFT: 542 int. / 563 exh.


And Ill be running nitrous.

I'm running the stage 2 with TW heads and the cam cleared fine..I think you will need to cut valve reliefs with those heads!

yes

I have the same combo and I had to upgrade the springs to .600 lift springs.. With the 58cc version 165's and flat top trw pistons I had no problems with piston to valve clearance..You will enjoy this setup trust me.. Make sure you at least have 3.73 gears though!

Engine 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.......
