Default b20 cams vs ls cams

are b20 cams and better than ls cams or vice versa

is there any cam that could be put in OTHER crowers

is there a cam other than crowers that wouldnt need an upgraded valve train to help with a ls t motor

Check out delta cams their $75 a cam whatever spec u want , any cam bigger then stock needs valve springs. Stock LS springs are a joke

b20z cams are the best folowed real real close by b18b cams, then b18a cams and a very very distant last place is b20b cams

they all however suck compared to any aftermarket cams. you dont NEED upgraded valvetrain to run crower 403's, id look into those. if you absolutely dont want crowers then you can do regrinds from just about any company, colt, delta, web, rocket motorsports...

if its a cost issue i know a secret about b16 dual springs i could tell you that can save some money

why does it seem that this question is popping up all over the place all of a sudden?

403s can run on stock valvetrain, just as long as stock rev limit is retained.

i'm running 404s with boost and they kick ***.

and i love my rocket ls single valvesprings. really quiet setup, as in terms of the head.

i have the rockets with my 404's as well... stock retainers

and like it was said before you can run 403's or smaller on stock v-springs... just keep the rpm's down.

now if you can tell me a legit reason why you dont want to run upgraded springs then ill tell you my b16 secret

i dont realy have a good reason

but i dont sell enough crack to afford such luxuries as toilet papper, bottled water, and valve springs and such

but if you tell me i will mow your lawn and make you the best watermelon cool-aid you have ever tasted
