you can run the stockers, but make sure the limiter is set at 4850RPMS

:imwstupid: I like Quik's answer, he is just trying to point you in the right direction. He is "quick" and right on.
Broken valve springs are no fun.

Quik does have a point, if you are gonna do the cam, need the springs so you don't wreck you engine. If you can get the cam at a good deal , get it and just hold on to it until you can get your springs and do it all at once. That's what i did.

if you cant afford it dont do it. save up and buy it in steps. if you only can do cam and not springs. youll spend alot more money later rebuilding the motor...thus pinching pennies to spend dollars

just buy wut you can a little at a time...know wut you want to do and slow buy the parts...once you get them all get some buddies together drink some beer and get the stuff installed....

thats wut most have done...
