I bought some crower stage 2 3/4 cams and skunk2 cam gears a while ago, just on an impulse buy really, but now I'm ready to put them in. I plan on building the head myself and then giving it to the tune shop to do the rest, but had a few questions first. To start with, I'm about to purchase the springs and retainers to match, as well as some valves. My question is what else is going to wear fast from putting these cams in? I dont want to blow my motor before my next oil change. Also, Crower suggests a vtec controller, but I've been told by many to just let the shop set vtec where it needs to be. Whats the best route for getting my car to run smooth with a built head? Last question.... what's the best shop for the best price in the marietta area?
Thanks for your input. All advice is greatly appreciated.
