Default Cam/springs ?

What cam are you running and how often do you have to put new valve springs on?

Thanks

WW..
I am thinking about going with the G5x3.
How do you like your G5x3?
What did you have before?
What difference do you see with LG's cam?
Did they fly cut the pistons?

Thanks in advance...

it is a great cam and with the right tuner you can have it run great on the street.

Before the H/C I had headers, cat-back, 4.10 gears, air intake and rps clutch. The cam made the car much more responsive then before. It is just so much funto drive now.

I would have to say it is a lot louder so that is something to consider. I would also say it is a on the edge of passign emissions so you people in CA. might have to worry.

not sure if I the pistons needed to be cut. you can ask ECS who did the work though if you have more questions.
