OP I don't mean to jack your thread but I just needed a little feedback...does this look like valve float?
The log doesn't show anything out of the ordinary, but the power just dips.
Stock IX turbo, S2's, meth, and the usual boltons.

Thanks for the insight guys. I'm pretty excited to get rid of these cams. They have to be magic cause these were touching awdmotorsports 6262 power record with a pretty mild tune but we have a better quality e85 here. And by better quality I mean hand mixed. No pump guessing

No. The springs should come with retainers.
