60lb springs

Postby skilletky » Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:33 pm

i was going to get me set of the 60lb exh springs, but i have only found them for the 2nd gen. same thing? and should i get some titainium keepers or is that just over kill? truck is used for a daily driver, racing it every now and then, and light towing and sometimes some pretty heavy towing. i also was thinking of putting a cam in it, but not too sure which one. anyone have any favorites that will work good for me? i am starting to gather parts up for when i pull the head to have it o-ringed. anything else i should do while i am in the engine?

Yes as long that they are 12valve springs they will be fine, and no you dont want titanium keepers!

Yep just 12V springs, same ones. Do both the intake and exaust so itll handle the revs. I run a maxspool 2 cam in my truck and really like it. My EGT's reasonable for the fuel I have and my charger lights real hard. You can get a new cam for not much more then a regrind so I would consider a new billet cam. Also dont bother with the titanium keepers the stock ones are fine, they seem to last 400 thousand miles no problems. lol.

Seems to me like "Hamilton Diesel" and "F1" are the magic words when it comes to better-than-OEM valve train components, which are not a bad idea above 4000 RPM.

is there that big of a difference in a regrind and a new cam as far as longevity and performance? thanks all for the input. gives me something to research tonight at work as long as our power don't go out. getting some pretty heavy winds up here right now.
