I should have fit up HD valve springs when my head was last rebuilt, but I just couldn't afford it at the time. Now it will cost me more time & money to upgrade the springs. Even if you don't get the cam right away, that's a rather easy job to do later. The valve springs no so much. Cheers ToranaGuy
