I'd prefer to keep a smaller (0.6x) A/R, and rather fit an external wastegate to get the extra exhaust flow, whilst retaining response.

What symptoms pointed you to 'tired valvesprings' ? Did the power fall off sharply.... valvetrain got noisy in high rpms ?
what 267 cams do you run ? Did you notice a considerable gain ?
Did you have to change lifters or reshim ?
|
Was like a light ignition miss, started off initially like a soft rev cut (just a hesitation really), but as the springs got worse, it would eventually sound like it was popping into the inlet manifold & also backfire out the exhuast, and basically didn't want to rev through it. It was still running stock cams back then.
The 267 cams are a wade billet grind, with only slightly more lift than factory spec. Lifters remained standard, just shims were changed to suit the clearances required.
I actually tried Wade's 280 degree cams first with almost 8.5mm lift, but despite their initial advice, they cams actually lifted one side of the shim about 1.5mm off the bucket/lifter when turned over by hand! Thank god I didnt start it up and give it a rev before noticing. Now Wade don't recommend those cams without a "shim under" conversion kit
Cheers
