Spec advice for new motor build

[dub_crazee]

Do you think i should go that route or a cam with less lift? i supose at the end of the day im not aiming for mega BHP but more reliability.

Turbo = dual springs, heck, most n/a application should have dual springs. Only the mildest of cams can run safely single. Quoted for truth: "Your valves are floating, you just don't know it" .
You asked for advise what would we do...but I can't look inside your head ;-)

Thats a fair enough comment. i just read about the issue with your single hd springs weakening on your 2.0ltr motor....how did the cryo springs work out for you in the end out of interest?

The cryo'd ones were actually down on spring pressure because of that treatment and I needed more spring, not less, so I didn't use them.
Both Scat singles and the Berg duals were very down in spring pressure after some use, hence I now use the CB650.
They are such a nice spring, I would almost recommend them for everything, also because the 650 seems more progressive in rating, so lower lift cams don't get the higher pressure, but the spring lives much longer, which is good if your going turbo later. After all, you don't want to start the turbo motor with an already weakened spring.

interesting. i suppose a lot of people dont think about the other side affects certain processes have. thanks for sharing your experiences with them. the cb650 sounds like a good allround spring to use.
