so what is the way to go? with 110# valve springs? but then do you have to run different keepers/retainers? and run 24 valve or stronger push rods? and what about cam? will it wear the stock one out with that much spring pressure?

FWIW I swapped 60lb springs for hamiltons set and picked up right at 15hp from 2500rpm to peak. It was the only change made, same day, same dyno. Stock valve train other then a helix 2 cam. 65psi max boost and 3100 max rpm. Peak hp was at 2750.
