As quoted from the intense site:
"The Stage 3 Blower Cam is still streetable, and works best with a higher stall torque converter. It should NOT be used with stock cylinder heads and/or stock valvesprings. We always recommend and/or install 130# valvesprings with this camshaft. The Stage 3 Blower Cam is engineered for use with highly modified cylinder heads and oversized valves, and is a perfect match to the INTENSE™ Stage 3 CNC L67 Cylinder Heads. The powerband is strong from 3,000 to 7,000 RPM, with peak torque at 4,400 RPM and peak horsepower at 6,400 RPM."
This would mean I have to get 130# spring as my 105# springs are too weak, then the torque converter, a double timing chain, machined oil pump cover, the 5% OD crank pulley w/ 8 rib pulleys, oil filter spacer, CC OE-R lifters, and.....what else? I would love to but.....I have to draw a line somewhere.
so, a stage 2 or VS? Any major difference in HP/torque #s?
