Dude--nice cam! Mine is almost the same--check sig for specs... Yeah, like what was said, 7.4 hardened pushrods must be done. Your cam is a good candidate for FI. The 115 LSA will keep it more civilized for DD. Those PRC springs are probably some of the best out there, as well as those Ti retainers. You are definitely building it with the right equipement to go FI. The stock lifter will be fine. Those springs are a very high performance spring. Since they are a lot stiffer than others (Comp 918's), you will need to be careful with them. They will need a proper warm up period everytime you cold start it. You really shouldn't start it up, then rap it up to 4k RPMs...you should keep the RPMs pretty low (~2k-2.5k) until normal operating temps have occurred. Your valvetrain will be noticeably louder, only because of the high rate of spring---you will have a louder clickity-clickity from the springs. Nothing to worry about, it is just how they sound. You will be very happy with what you have purchased...

I'm glad you mentioned that about the springs clicking because I notice every morning when I start it and leave my house that I hear the clicking. I thought something might have been messed up but the sounds go away after being run for just a few minutes. And I never get on it until I reach full operating temp just to be sure everything is ready for the beating!! :burnout:

Yeah, the good thing is that the ticking goes away when the turbo screams! :burnout: You'll absolutely love that cam! It will pull wayyyy hard up top with your turbo! :thumb:

YOU WILL LOVE THE CAM. I HAVE THE SAME CAM AND SETUP, EXCEPT A 6.OL. I HAVE A TON OF TQ, AND A LOT OF TOP END. IT NEVER STOPS PULLING. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I see in your sig that you've got a Yank 3200. How do you like it and where did you get it?
