What causes piston/valve contact? Are there certain cams grinds I should avoid with my mods, keep in mind that I'm aware a race cam wouldn't work for me. What the difference between VT stage 1 and stage 2, and Comp Cam XE270?

Click to expand...
With a stage II down I have never heard of any issues like that. If I were you, I would get some VT cams from Tim and have him custom grind them for yah, be like a stage II1/2 and be perfect for your perticular goals.. Stage 1 and stage 2 just refers to how "radical" they are (how long the duration is and whatnot), but its still a very general grind.. Good luck with your decision, call up time over at T&J's and he will design you a perfect set of cams for like $525!
