Did MTI put in any HD valve springs? Or did they swap the cam out without any valve spring work?

MTI x1 is a good cam
Also LGM GX3 and
Cartech has a good setup too.

I went with LGM and it will be installed next week. I will post results and my thoughts after.

TTP in Saddlebrook New Jersey has a 224/224 114lsa with crane dual springs/double roller timing chain installs for 2 grand..and 3300 with kooks headers..and ls1edit tuning..

Thats what I would recommend if you need to pass sniffer test and want 400rwhp

Thats what I am thinking of doing.
