The stock valvesprings cannot handle any aftermarket cams. They have to be replaced. Supertech's 78lb kit is your best bet.




its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

if your'e going to be supercharging at a later date your'e going to want these.

those stage 1's will be useless to you with boost. and not to bash the product completely but they're basically useless all motor as well. save your money for the blower.

you could look into an underdrive crank pulley, b+m shiftplus/short throw shifter (depending on your tranny type), or start looking into some suspension/drivetrain mods and focus your performance money specifically on the charger.
