wtf, the specs on the S2's aren't insane, how can the manley springs not work? on the 8/9 they're only slightly more aggressive than k272's, which work fine with stock springs. Maybe the dual mivec X cams have some crazy ramp rates or something?

*edit* ya, I see in their catalog it says max lift of .430" = 10.9mm....kinda silly imho. The evo8/9 springs are good for .580" = 14.7mm! How can they make such MANLY springs for the 4G63 and such PUSSY springs for the X?

Yea not sure, the GSC S2's are like .433 or something, so just a bit over the Manley max lift, Danny said we could probably still use them, but since I plan to rev it out he thought it was better to go with the Supertech's which can handle like .49 or something.

But I looked at the 8/9/X S2's and they are all about the same lift and designed for roughly the same rev range and power levels...400-700whp.

^lol, 500 is crazy. I need to get a ride in all these Evos.

[Murlo26]

I will dish out rides when it is all said and done...however, I am graduating my car to only myself driving it simply because I can't afford to fix another motor right now and a misshift at 9k would be deadly. too much to lose.

500whp would be sweet, but i might get stuck in the upper 4's until i finish some other things off that might be restrictions, intake mani, throttle body and I will go to a tubular mani eventually too. Probably winter project...then shoot for 500's next spring. I honestly just want the damn thing to work, lol.

My new "1400cc" DW injectors will be here tomorrow, my head is off to DB's machinist for his raceport job and +1mm valve installation with my new GSC s2 cams and supertech springs/retainers. The buschur diff pins and my tranny went to DB's tranny guy for installation and while he has it all apart if anything looks worn he is going to replace.

My stock turbo will be at FP Wednesday, so hopefully 2 weeks or so and he will ship it back. The Shortblock is due in port the end of this week or early next week, so hopefully end of next week or early the following week that will be at DB. Hopefully everything falls into place and the head/tranny are done before the shortblock gets there and then the FPblack arrives when the motor is going back in.

It seems to be going smoothly...almost too smoothly.

Edit: Also ordered a Thermal intake spacer, was going to do Boomba, but MAP had the same thing for like half the price from them so I just got that one. Also ordered my second piece of bling, aside from my Perrin shorty antenna that was my first mod, a boomba oil cap!
