hotcam with stock springs?
I just got a killer deal on an LT4 hotcam, so I picked it up. I was thinking about installing it soon, but I don't have valvesprings yet to match. If I ran that cam on stock valvespprings, would I be asking for trouble?

I would also recommend replacing the valve stem seals, theyr cheap and it only takes a minute or two per valve.

you trying to do a cam swap in the car or is this part of a rebuild? In either case stock springs won't cut it, but if you already have the heads off then get a VJ on them with new hardware. LT4 springs at least, you can pick them up for less than $50.

I was just trying to cut corners.
I just bought a hotcam from the FS section, and I wanted to stab it in when I got it. Later on, I was gonna get a set of used heads, swap on some LT4 springs, and port match it to my intake manifold.
IF the stock springs won't cut the mustard, than I definatley will do the cam and springs at the same time.

I'm gonna go to the local speed shop tommorrow with a printout of my hotcam specs and have them set me up with some decent springs.
NEXT QUESTION: If I install stiffer valvesprings this weekend, and leave the rest of the valvetrain rock stock, am I gonna bend pushrods, or overstress my timing chain?

My cam hasn't arrived yet, or I would install it too. I think they guy shipped it today.

Alright guys, tell me what you think about this. I went to the local speedshop today, and picked up a set of LUNATI valvesprings.
seat press. 108
open press 339
coil bind 1.060
.630" max lift
.462 rate
Do you think those are good for an LT4 hotcam? Are they too overkill? They were only $60 bux, and the guy at the shop told me he thought they were good for that cam.
