cam specs for my 02 gagt.

[gectek]

not all sure on what specs work best, especially with our GA setups (that damn T45E tranny . . . ), try to work with the motor's midrange especially, that's where our trannies seem to respond best.
anyways, I'd recommend going with the LS1 springs, honestly, just to cut out the valve float at high RPM's

well im building my 4t45 for just my type of driving and punishment, which is alot, so i know it will hold up, give me a little time and ill post #s and hopefully offer perf rebuilds(if i can ever get pricing right)

but the 88 toyota seats will work ok on mine then, and either the 2.2 or the 318 seals and thats it? neato, now sappy i just need a price on the titanium retainers, or a p/n and ill be good to go.

also when i put the p/n off that other thread 12586484 it shows as they are the same as the LS2 springs, are those the new style LS6 springs that i saw on here are a diff design that wont fit, only the 03 and older springs will fit???

The older LS6 and the new LS2 springs are exactly the same. They just started painting them different colors when they switched engines. The titanium retainers from comp cams are part# 754-1 for a single ($19.53 ea.) or 754-16 for a set of 16 ($312.4.

yah, if you want a better buy on the titanuim retainers, i have a better price than this one, but go to www.sdpc2000.com, they have them for like $282 plus shipping, i think my price is a little better if anyone needs, or wants them, i can find out exactly what my price is, i usually get a 15-20% discount over the $282. that is for the set of 16, so im sure i could get the singles for less also, they show on there for 17.99 a piece

im almost done with the piecing together of the spring parts, only the seats are left now

what on earth do you need titanium retainers for... Jeesh... those springs wont break the stock ones.

[gectek]

lighter weight, its not all about strength, havent u heard the many rantings on here bout reducing the valvetrain weight on the valve side can help gain power, gain revs and get you good credit???

[SappySE107]

I have 4 comp retainers here. I used to get them cheaper...ill have to see if I can still.

[gectek]

i can get the set of 16 for like $35ish with tax

[gectek]

hey sappy, ill send u the rest when i get them if i can get a break on something for my 3400 later

[SappySE107]

I meant the titanium retainers are what I have 4 of.

[gectek]

lol, srry, but if you want the 4 steel ones, ill let u have em...also i dont know what my discount on the titanium ones are, but ill find out, id sell them straight out, no big deal if i dont make any money off those anyway

[gectek]

and of course now i ask the question...has anyone had any extra noise/probs with the ls6 springs on stock lift cams or higher lift cams

[SappySE107]

Shouldn't. There is no damper in there for there to be added friction and noise. Never heard anything in the cars that had those springs either.

[gectek]

cool, so sappy, when will those springs i ordered ship?

[SappySE107]

Tomorrow.

[gectek]

cool, so do u have a cam profile that you would recommend? and also ill be lookin into those pushrods as soon as you get a set made and get the setup dialed in, and also as soon as i get my cam spec'd in and ordered, can have the cart before the horse
